Key Lime Cookies

I've been so MIA lately, I apologize. Between 4th of July, birthdays, weddings it's hard to keep up with cooking. At least I got these babies in though. As usual when I make desserts I quickly try to bring them to work so they are not just sitting on my kitchen counter screaming "Ashley come eat us, please, you know you want toooooo" cause that's what they would have done... in addition to every other type of snack in my fridge and pantry including but not limited to chocolate chips, cool whip, laughing cow cheese wedges and so on. These were delectable though and my co-workers obviously agreed when 2 hours later they were all gone.
