key lime white chocolate cookies

these sweetly refreshing, soft and chewy, key lime cookies have just the right amount of tartness paired with sweet white chocolate… summertime in a cookie.

have you ever been so busy with life that you forget about something that’s kind of a big deal??

like a birthday… or anniversary?  …or a blogiversary!?!  yeah… that’s the one i forgot about.  it was actually 1 week ago… i know, i know, i’m sorry.  i just wanted to say thanks for hanging out, reading my randomness, and offering endless feedback and fresh, new ideas for a whole year now!  i love you all.

so to make up for my forgetfulness, i’m bringing you a recipe featuring the best citrus flavor that ever existed… key lime.  for me, it’s that one flavor that automatically trumps all other flavors.  if you’re not a fan of key lime… then  i don’t quite understand.

i had no idea this dreamy key lime cake mix even existed… then i saw these on pinterest! :) only friends of a food blogger would think to give fun flavored cake mix boxes as a gift!  …or maybe i’m the only one who gets excited about that sort of thing.  needless to say, my brain started churning the moment i opened this epic gift.

then it hit me… out of all the delicious key lime recipes i’ve tried ~ from frozen yogurt to grilled chicken ~ i’d never had a key lime cookie!!  15 minutes later… i took cake box cookies to a whole new, more sophisticated level… not too sweet, and finished with a citrusy zing!

i know some of you may cringe when you hear the words “cake box” come out of a baker’s mouth.
{probably much like english teachers who get squeamish reading my all lowercase typography.}
however, cake box cookies have a special place in my heart.  in case you missed this hilarious post about my moms limited cooking experience, i’ll just say… my (step)dad was the chef. :) i remember one of the first times mom and i made cake box cookies together; i just loved them!  they were the softest, chewiest, yummiest cookies… and easy enough for a child to help whip together!  one time we even stuck popsicle sticks in them and made cookie lollipops!  at this point, i was sure i had the coolest mom ever and would not even entertain the idea of trying a new cookie recipe… which probably killed any culinary creativity my mom had inside her right then and there.  haha!  so the cake box cookies live on. :)
