I found this recipe and decided to go with it after reading the reviews and checking the rating. I’m no baker by any stretch of the imagination but this recipe was easy for me to follow and execute. I did not use a scale and halved the recipe. While my measurements were no where near perfect this recipe came out amazing for my first time ever making these cookies! I used store bought jam I had in my fridge and will be using this recipe in the future. I did substitute vanilla bean paste instead of regular vanilla because that’s all I had. Thank you!

In reply to Joanne De La Torre. Sometimes they puff out a little bit, but when they are warm you can just re-indent them a little bit. :)

Hi These sounds SO good that I couldn’t wait to make them. I have one problem tho. The intentions didn’t sty. They flattened. Do u know why that would happen? I pier them in freezer first with indention.

In reply to Anna K. Hi Anna! That will work just fine. I would refrigerate after making the thumbprint in the cookies. :)

Can I make the dough ahead of time and leave it in the fridge overnight?

In reply to Emilia. The filling is where you will get all of your key lime flavor, but you could just make the shells if you choose. :)

Can I just make the cookies without the filling?

In reply to Alicia. One more question. Unfortunately, my store was out of key limes. the only thing I could find to come close for the juice was Nellie and Joe Key West Lime Juice. I heard this is not 100% key lime juice. Have you had experience with this and if so, will it work?

In reply to Alicia. Hi Alicia! I would say it's more for texture, but I don't want to say you can't taste it at all. It's a very subtle flavor. :)

In reply to Lori Zapotocky. I have someone in my family that does not like white chocolate. So I was wondering, is the chocolate more for texture or taste? Little bit of both? Can you tell there is white chocolate in there or is it masked by other flavors? Thanks!

In reply to Kimberly Lunieski. Hi Kimberly! Unfortunately I'm not aware of a good substitute here. The chocolate really helps hold everything together. :(

What can you substitute for the white chocolate chips if Someone is allergic to chocolate?

In reply to Lori Zapotocky. Hi Lori! They should freeze just fine for several months. They should be fine to stack once completely set with a layer of parchment paper in between. :)

can i freeze the key lime cookies? If yes, how long an i freeze them for. Want to bake ahead of time for a wedding . Do they need to be frozen in single layer and can i stack them in layers with parchment paper in between layers once frozen? Thank you for your response.

In reply to Sam. Tried making these but the filling didn't set enough even with extra powdered sugar to wrap them without the filling smearing to sell at a farmers market. Substituted regular key lime pie filling and baked them cookie and filling together for 12 minutes. Came out perfect. New cookie to sell

I made a batch of these for a ladies Bible study. Everyone loved them and the entire batch disappeared! Definitely adding this recipe to my “keep” pile. My kids were so sad that there were no leftovers!
