I actually have no idea what makes something key lime rather than simply lime. I’d look it up, but there are fresh lime cookies to eat and also there is a lot of laundry to do since we have been gone all weekend. I would have just called these lime cookies, but key lime sounds more exciting.
Oh wait. I just looked it up. Did you know there are actually Key Limes? You probably did, so before you tease you have to remember that I am from Nebraska where there are no lime trees. Nebraska limes grow on trucks and in grocery stores.
Key limes are apparently great for cooking and baking because they are extra juicy and full of aroma and flavor. I will admit that I don’t know what kind of limes I used in these cookies. Therefore, maybe we should call these Easy Low Sugar On-Sale Lime Melt Away Cookies?
Either way, add these cookies to the collection of Low Sugar Cookies we’ve been enjoying here. These cookies are so much fun since all we have to do is use the base recipe, then add different flavors! Lime is just as amazing as the others.
Want to try the other varieties of these cookies?
- ½ cup sucanat or raw sugar
- The juice of two limes
- 3 cups of whole wheat pastry flour (give or take)
- Stir together melted butter and sugar.
- Add eggs, vanilla, lime juice, and baking powder.
- Grate lime rind into the mix for extra flavor.
- Stir in flour until a solid ball of dough forms.
- Drop teaspoon-sized balls of dough onto a cookie sheet, about an inch apart.
- Bake in a 350° oven for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned.

Do you live in an area where limes grow in your backyard? If so, I’m happy for you and not even jealous. After all, I live in a state where the wind blows so hard we don’t have to bother fixing our hair. Now who’s jealous?
