Fruity Pebble Cookies

Fruity Pebble Cookies

I almost didn’t post this cookie. They came out of the oven looking thin and frisbee-like, which was the opposite of what I was going for, and I nearly chalked it up as a fail. Then I ate one. It was magical. It did not…

Lime Cooler Cookies

Lime Cooler Cookies

These light, citrusy cookies are the perfect ending to any summer meal.

 

I’ve been on a lime kick since summer break has started, but I’ve already made a key lime pie, so I decided to come up with a cookie to curb my craving.

These totally hit the spot. They’re soft, citrusy, and melt in your mouth. You can also swap out the lime oil and lime juice powder for lemon! 

All you have to do to be able to eat these perfect morsels is whip up a quick dough, bake them, and roll the cooled cookies in a mixture of powdered sugar and lime juice powder.

After they come out of the oven, make sure you let them cool completely before rolling them in the powdered sugar mixture. I tried rolling a few while they were still slightly warm, and the coating melted and made them pretty messy. They turned out perfectly when I waited for them to cool.

A word of caution….do not inhale the powdered sugar while taking bites. I may or may not have coughed up a cloud of powder mid-bite. Totally worth it.

Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies

Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies

Everyone has their own idea about what makes the perfect chocolate chip cookie. Mine is that it should be thick and super chocolatey with crispy edges and a gooey middle. Oh, and large. They should definitely be large. These cookies check all of those boxes.…
