Lime Cookie Bars

Spring is in the air! We had temperatures in the 40s this weekend, it felt like a heat wave.

You know winter was rough when I roll down my car windows in 40-degree weather!

It felt so nice to finally not freeze and not have to bundle up for once.

To celebrate the warmer spring temperatures, I made these delicious Lime Cookie Bars which taste just like a fruity summer drink and with their pretty pastel green color they are the perfect St. Patrick’s Day treat!

These bars have a great texture of a soft chewy cookie combined with a hint of lime.

I drizzled these cookie bars with white cookie icing and SPRINKLED them with colored sprinkles to make them even more fun and festive for St. Patrick’s Day!

UPDATE: I’ve also made these for Christmas and called them “Christmas Tree Sticks” lol. Everyone LOVED them!

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 box Jell-O Lime gelatin, dry, 3 oz
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pouch Betty Crocker Cookie Icing, white
  • sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line (2) baking sheets with parchment paper or silicon baking sheets. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl mix the flour, salt, and baking powder until combined. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer or a stand mixer, cream the butter for 1-3 minutes. Add sugar and dry JELL-O powder and beat on high for 1-2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out. Cut the dough into small little bars, about 1.5in x 3in. Place dough bars on prepared baking sheet and place in freezer for 10 minutes. (this will help them keep their shape)

  • Once cool, drizzle with royal icing and sprinkles.
