How to Make Cornflake Key Lime Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg, ¼ cup Nellie & Joe's Key West lime juice, and the zest of 2 limes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Place 2 cups crushed cornflakes in a shallow bowl.
  7. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of cookie dough into the cornflakes, gently rolling to coat completely.
  8. Place coated cookies onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown. (High-altitude bakers: Add an additional ¼ cup of flour and bake for an extra 2-3 minutes).
  10. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
