Description

Warm, buttery lime-infused cookies made from a yellow cake mix, perfect for a bright, tangy treat. These easy-to-make cookies are ideal for gatherings and pair beautifully with coffee or tea. Delicious, simple, and bursting with citrus flavor!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 17 oz yellow cake mix (gluten‑free optional)
  • 3 oz lime gelatin
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • Rainbow sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine softened butter and cream cheese; beat until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and continue mixing until incorporated.
  4. Stir in the dry cake mix, lime gelatin, and white chocolate chips until a dough forms.
  5. Scoop tablespoon‑sized portions onto the prepared sheet and gently press flat.
  6. Bake for 10‑12 minutes, or until the edges are golden; let cool before sprinkling with rainbow sprinkles if desired.

Notes

For a gluten‑free version, use a gluten‑free cake mix. Substitute lemon gelatin for a milder citrus note. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Add a drizzle of lime glaze for extra zing.
