Hi Reader!

I've taken everything you love about a buttery sugar cookie and infused it with the bright, zesty magic of fresh key limes. The result? These gorgeous Soft & Pillowy Key Lime Cookies!

These aren't just any cookies:

  • They have a phenomenal, melt-in-your-mouth texture that you have to experience to believe.
  • With a simple, one-bowl, no-chill dough, you'll go from craving to cookie in under 30 minutes. It's the perfect easy-breezy recipe for satisfying your sweet tooth!
  • The scent and flavor from the key limes is INTOXICATING.
  • In a pinch, you can sub in regular limes!!

In Other Exciting News!

I have been working with one of my oldest and dearest friends (hi Suz!) to create a DisplacedHousewife tee! She's a designer and we created something super fun and I can't wait to share it with you.

It's made of the softest cotton and it just gets better when washed and dried...and I can't say that about a lot of my t-shirts! The design is so cute and I'd like to think, so me, really. And as a fellow baker, I think it will be so you, too.

Keep your eyes πŸ‘€ open for a first-look email coming soon!

In the meantime, enjoy these cookies! I can't wait for you to bake them!!
