5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!
And if you think a whole pie sounds daunting (it’s not, just try it!), you could always make up a batch of Irresistible Key Lime Pie Bars. If you’ve had a chance to make them, I know you’ll agree – they are TRULY irresistible. And pretty. Crap. Now I need to make another batch.
Well, I had about half of the limes left in the bag and I was craving more key lime baked goods so I made these outrageously easy snowball cookies. #winningatlife Snowball cookies are seriously soooo easy and the kids just love them.
You need five ingredients to make these cookies: flour, cornstarch (secret ingredient), butter, powdered sugar, and key limes (both the juice and the zest). FIVE.
I was juicing and zesting away and totally forgot to save a few key limes for the photo shoot. Aaargh! So off I went to the store to pick up some more…couldn’t find any. I asked the produce department guy what the deal was and he tells me, get this, that they’re currently out and that it’s an “off week” for key limes and to come back next week.
Yeah, no.
So those are just plain ole limes you see in the pictures and guess what? The whole recipe could be made with regular limes as well if you can’t score any key limes at your local grocery store. You can also buy key lime juice (works perfectly) and just use the zest of limes. Either way – make these cookies. STAT.
Seriously, no one can eat just one. These cookies create one heck of a mess when you’re eating them but boy are they worth it! I just send the boys outside 😉
Just don’t wear black and attempt to eat these cookies, er, so I’ve heard anyways.
