Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 2, 1/2 dozen
Sweet, crumbly, and incredibly quick to make, these tender little sugar-dusted morsels are an easy and convenient no-bake twist on classics, like Mexican wedding cookies and citrus meltaways. If you happen to prefer the flavor of lemons to limes or even oranges, switching in one citrus fruit for the other is a simple substitution.
Ingredients:
1 package vanilla cookies
1, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, divided
2 teaspoons lime zest
1/3 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
3/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut, toasted
