These might be the easiest cookies we’ve ever made. With summer here, light and fruity flavors are everywhere, and Key Lime is one of many we enjoy. These cookies are Brett-proof. They are so simple.
3 Ingredient Key Lime Cookies Ingredients
1 box Pillsbury Key Lime Cake Mix
2 Eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
Stir ingredients together. The batter will be pretty thick. Shape into balls. We do smaller cookies, you may want bigger. Bake at 350 for 9 minutes.
Frost immediately for “pooled” frosting that melts onto the cookie, wait until cool for a more decorative look.
I’ll be sharing a fun twist on this recipe to make Key Lime Cheescake Cookies later in the week!
Pillsbury also has Pink Lemonade and Creamsicle flavors for summer that would also make delicious cookie!
The frosting used is the Pillsbury Key Lime Frosting! Super simple!
This recipe is GREAT for kids. It’s easy, the dough is workable for little hands, and not a lot of measuring. Easy way to get kids helping in the kitchen. We have been bringing these to cookouts and picnics for a while now- they are just enough “different” to wow people but simple enough that they are mixed, shaped, baked and cooled in under an hour so you don’t need to set aside a lot of time to make them.

Wouldn’t this recipe work with ANY Pillsbury cake mix?

I want to make these with dried cranberries for cookie exchange but the mix is not available in Dec.
I looked at options of using lemon cake mix and a lime jello pack. Do you think it would work? I have to make 6 dozen.
Brett says
I bet that would work out ok- love the cranberry idea. I have seen it at random times in places like Target too this time of year

Tomorrow I’m off to the store to buy some Pillsbury Key Lime Cake Mix to make these. (and maybe a small lime to put some zest in the cookies.)
Yes, what frosting do you use?
Brett says
Pillsbury Key Lime Frosting 🙂
The Zest would be awesome for sure!! I’d put a little of the juice in too
Patricia Whittom Lamagno says
What’s the frosting recipe?
Brett says
Oh shoot! I forgot! It’s just the Pillsbury Key Lime Frosting!
Robin Wilson says
Brett ~ how do you store these? Thanks!! I really want to make them!
Brett says
In a really airtight container. I have some Rubbermaid containers that seal really well. Though they don’t end up saving for long. People eat them.
