Now I know snowball cookies are typically made for the holidays or in the middle of winter however no one said we couldn’t add a touch of spring to the mix. Citrus flavors like lemon or key-lime really get me excited for the spring and summer. But since I have already brought you all my Lemon Icebox pie(click here) and Lemon bars(click here) I wanted to bring another light and citrus recipe.
We have key-lime snowball cookies! With the sweet flavors of the classic shortbread from a wedding cookie and the light citrus flavors from the key-lime, this is a great quick and easy mini dessert that I would call guilt-free. I have for you all my vegan and gluten-free key-lime snowball cookies!
