Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons key lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons key lime juice (fresh or bottled)
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

For the Glaze (optional):

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 teaspoons key lime juice
  • Extra lime zest for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, key lime zest, and juice.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and crushed graham crackers. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in white chocolate chips if using.
  4. Bake: Scoop the dough into rounded tablespoons and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.
  5. Cool and glaze: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and key lime juice, then drizzle over the cooled cookies. Top with extra zest if desired.

Notes

  • For a more tart flavor, add an extra teaspoon of lime zest.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
  • These cookies freeze well without the glaze.
