Details
Preparation
Step 1
Prepare graham cracker crust by stirring graham cracker crumbs and sugar together and mixing in melted butter. Prepare cookie mix as directed on box but add in 1 teaspoon of key lime juice.
In mini muffin pans, place 1 heaping teaspoon of graham cracker crust in each well. Use the back of a teaspoon or a tart tamper to press the crumbs into the bottom of the well. Then, using a small cookie scoop, add about 1 tablespoon of key lime cookie dough on top of the cookie crust. You don’t have to press it down – just let it rest right on top of the crumbs.
Since I was using a dark coated pan, I reduced the temperature of my oven to 350* and baked the cookie cups about 12 minutes. Keep an eye on them so they don‘t get too dark.
Remove cookies from oven and allow to cool about a minute. Again, use the back of a teaspoon or a tart tamper to press the cookies into cookie cups.
Basically: 1. crust 2. scoop 3. bake 4. smoosh.
Once cooled, pipe key lime frosting into each cookie cup with a star tip and garnish with fresh grated lime zest. Nothing makes prepared frosting look better than a pretty piping job and a little sprinkle of something!
