Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

Cookies:

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour

  • ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • ¾ cup white sugar, divided, or as needed

  • 1 large egg yolk

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Key Lime Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 3 medium Key limes

  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Combine flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon in a bowl.

  3. Cream butter and 1/2 cup sugar together in a bowl with an electric mixer. Add egg yolk and vanilla; blend until combined. Mix in dry ingredients and continue to blend until dough sticks together, 1 to 2 minutes.

  4. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and roll in remaining sugar to coat. Place on the prepared baking sheets.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms are lightly browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool, 8 to 10 minutes more.

  6. Zest all 3 limes; set zest aside. Juice 2 of the limes.

  7. Beat cream cheese in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in confectioners' sugar. Add lime juice and zest; mix to combine.

  8. Spread filling on the flat sides of 1/2 of the cookies, then top with remaining cookies to form sandwich cookies.
