Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

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
3 medium Key limes
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • 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.
  • Roll dough into 1-inch balls and roll in remaining sugar to coat. Place on the prepared baking sheets.
  • 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.
  • Zest all 3 limes; set zest aside. Juice 2 of the limes.
  • Beat cream cheese in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in confectioners' sugar. Add lime juice and zest; mix to combine.
  • Spread filling on the flat sides of 1/2 of the cookies, then top with remaining cookies to form sandwich cookies.
