Crumbl Copycat Key Lime Pie Cookies

Imagine holding delicious key lime pie in the palm of your hand and eating it like a cookie! These key lime pie cookies satisfy your cravings for zesty citrus creamy pie filling and buttery graham cracker crust but in a cookie form!

Everyone in Utah and slowly the whole United States is becoming obsessed with Crumbl Cookies, but I’m here to take their great idea up a notch. This copycat Crumbl Key Lime Pie Cookies recipe is 100% because I have a friend who is obsessed but I thought it needed a little touch here and there.

We use straight up, homemade graham cracker crust in and outside of the cookie to really push that key lime pie flavor. PRO TIP: I like to make a homemade graham cracker crust and throw it into the freezer in a ziploc bag. It keeps forever and I can toss it into cookie dough, sprinkle it on top of desserts or even in our creamy vanilla ice cream it’s unreal! It really is the secret, along with a little more salt to add more flavor and balance to the perfect Key Lime Pie Cookie!

We are obsessed with lime desserts in our house!  Our key lime cheesecake with berry sauce is heavenly. Our classic key lime pie is so easy and always a hit. Of course, we have our torta de limão and it’s berry infused spinoff…blackberry lime bars. And if your loyal too cookies, try our white chocolate key lime cookies! You just can’t go wrong with limes when it comes to dessert!

These buttery, not-too-sweet cookies with a mild lemon flavor and a sweetly tart lemon glaze have been a hit with everyone who tries one.

Glazed Lemon Cookies

In my family, we’re all big fans of lemon desserts. From the best lemon bars you’ll ever taste to the lemon angel pie we make every year, lemon ice cream to lemon sorbet, lemon cheesecake to glazed lemon pound cake, there aren’t many lemon desserts that won’t make me smile.

Sometimes I like that pop of tangy citrus flavor to pretty much hit me in the face. Other times the lemon flavor sneaks in quietly and works its magic that way. These lemon cookies are a quiet kind of magical treat.

This is a mild lemon cookie, perfect for pairing with a cup of tea in the afternoon. If you want to kick up that lemon flavor, a bit more lemon zest will do the trick and a bit of lemon extract will boost it even more. Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon to deliver the lemon cookie you will like best.

Always a hit when tucked inside boxes of Christmas sweets, chocolate dipped Coconut Macaroons are rich, sweet, chewy cookies that are almost candy-like.

Coconut Macaroons with Chocolate

I like to use dark chocolate when making these, as the bittersweet chocolate balances the sweetness of the coconut, and the flavors work very well together.

I’ve made these macaroons at Christmastime for the past 15+ years. (In addition to making them for pretty much every other occasion too.) If you love coconut anywhere near as much as we do, you will fall in love with these cookies.

How To Make Coconut Macaroons

There are a few different ways to make macaroons and I’ve tried plenty of them. Many of the macaroon recipes that I’ve seen require beating the egg whites before adding them to the mixture. I’ve tried this method myself.

In the end, I don’t find it makes enough of a difference to justify the extra effort. They will turn out just a tiny bit lighter, but like I said, for me? Part of the fun in macaroons is in how simple they are to make.

All you need to do is dump all of the ingredients in a bowl, give it a quick stir with a spoon, and scoop them out onto a tray. Easy peasy and you’ll be enjoying the macaroons before you know it.

Reese’s Triple Chocolate Cookies

Indulge in the ultimate chocolate lover’s treat with these decadent Reese’s Triple Chocolate Cookies. Made with semi sweet, milk, and white chocolate PLUS Reese’s Pieces and peanut butter chips, these cookies are a chocolate and peanut butter lover’s dream come true.

When we were moving from Lehi I was trying to work my way through our pantry, fridge and freezer as much as possible so we’d have less to move into a new house. And less spillage, leakage etc haha. I found a random container with little bits of all those chocolates and thought, oh I’m soooo making cookies that the kids can share with friends. Instead, we ate them all!

We use chocolate pudding powder to make these cookies extra tender and chewy. Just like our chocolate chip pudding cookies, these cookies have the perfect texture…a little crispy around the edges and fudgy on the insides!

Ingredients for Reese’s Triple Chocolate Cookies

I originally was going to call these chocolate kitchen sink cookies because it felt like I tossed everything in except the kitchen sink, but traditional kitchen sink cookies usually have oats, so I left the kitchen sink at home…haha! Suffice it to say, these cookies have a little bit of everything chocolate and peanut butter. Here is what you will need:

• Butter: I prefer to use unsalted butter, but if you only have salted on hand, just reduce the salt by 1/4 teaspoon.
• Eggs: give structure to the cookies
• White Sugar: adds sweetness
• Brown Sugar: firmly pack the brown sugar before adding it to the dough
• Vanilla Extract: adds flavor
• Flour: just regular all purpose flour
• Salt: enhances all the flavors and offsets the sweetness
• Baking Soda: acts as a leavening agent to give the cookies rise and chewiness
• Cocoa Powder: boosts the fudgy chocolate flavor
• Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix: adds more chocolate flavor and helps keep the cookies moist
• Add-Ins: Reese’s Pieces, White Chocolate Chips, Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips, Milk Chocolate Chips and Peanut Butter Chips (Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips are our favorite)

The measurements for all of these ingredients can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.

Step By Step Instructions for Making These Cookies

Making these chocolate Reese’s cookies is easy and straightforward. Here are the basic steps:

1. Prep: Preheat the oven and line some baking sheets with parchment paper or silpats.
2. Wet Ingredients: In the bowl of a stand mixer, add all the wet ingredients (butter, eggs, sugars and vanilla) and mix until combined.
3. Dry Ingredients: In a

Perfectly crisp on top and irresistibly soft inside, these Cinnamon Cookies are a fabulous blend of warm cinnamon and sweet sugar.

Cinnamon Cookies

These cinnamon cookies are the perfect afternoon snack with your morning coffee or an afternoon cup of tea. I came up with these while playing with our family cookie recipes to create gluten-free variations for a friend.

I wanted a version of classic Snickerdoodle cookies that could be made with butter alone, eliminating the traditional shortening in that recipe. If you prefer a cookie with a more cake-like texture, simply substitute shortening for ½ of the butter in this recipe.

This cinnamon sugar cookies recipe results in slightly thinner cookies than traditional snickerdoodles. They have wonderfully crisp edges and chewy centers, and have a distinct, buttery cinnamon sugar flavor. Call me very happy.
