I didn't read the reviews before trying these so it didn't occur to me to add extra flour. I did end up having to refrigerate these overnight so the dough would be stiff enough to make into balls. I dipped them in green sugar for Christmas and when cooked, they flattened out with nice brown edges. They are very lime-y, I think I might try them with lemon or orange instead next time. 3 stars b/c it was a lot of trouble to figure out how to "fix" the recipe. But worth making.

Terrible. If you have to fiddle with this recipe as much as everyone says then obviously the recipe is flawed. I prepared it exactly as stated and the results were disasterous. Do not waste your time on this recipe when there are so many good ones out there.

I almost doubled the lime juice and added more flour. Dough still too sticky to form into balls. Still turned out great, though. Melt in your mouth! Nobody but me liked them, though. Not fans of citrus sweets, but I didn't mind eating them all. yummy!

I should have read the reviews first, but with such a high rating, I wasn't skeptical. The dough was incredibly sticky, it definitely needs the extra flour. I couldn't roll them into balls, I just dropped them onto the sheet, and they took much longer to cook than expected. With a few modifications, I would attempt these again.

I made these tonight, like the other reviews, the dough was very sticky. But I think they came out great and they're very good! Everybody loved them! I will for sure make these again, maybe trying lemons or oranges. Also I will add more flour to make less sticky.

These were very tastey. Very light and flavorful. I brought them to a 4th of July BBQ and they were a big hit. However, I did have to add about a cup more flour than the recipe suggested. W/o the added flour, the cookies baked flat as pancakes. With the add'l flour, they were perfect. These would be a great with some sorbet.

These are perfection in the form of a cookie - it's the excellent mixture of tart and sweet that does it for me. Also, as some had suggested, I added an extra 1/2 cup of flour + 1 bag of white chocolate chips, and instead of rolling them, just dropped them with a cookie scoop(like you would for choc. chip cookies). This made the texture soft and chewy...mmmm...gonna go have another right now!

These were great!!! I made these as a compliment to a Pina Colada cake and everyone thought they tasted delicious. They only thing is that I wouldn't recommend using a cookie press and the best way to get them on the cookie tray is to drop them and then use your hand to flatten them do they are thin. I topped mine with my own recipe for a coconut walnut glaze. Yum!!! I would definitely urge anyone to make these.

These were just what I was looking for! The dough was sticky but I did as the last reviewer suggested and dropped the dough onto a plate of powdered sugar and then it was very easy to roll. I also upped the amout of lime zest to 2teaspoons. I think that helped a lot. We really loved these!

WOW thanks Pam!!! I cook for a conference center in the Florida Keys and I am always looking for Key Lime recipes...This one is a keeper. My only suggestion is to roll the cookies in the powered sugar, then you can sprinkel them after they are cooked. This took care of the sticky problem.

I really like these cookies. This is one cookie recipe that I will definately be making again...and again. Although I think the recipe is supposed to call for 2 1/2 cups of flour as there was not nearly enough to roll into balls. I added probably another 1/4 cup then added white chocolate chips. And just dropped the cookies on the pan. The white chocolate chips accompanied the lime flavor nicely and my kids loved it! Next time I will try the glaze and sugar dusting as suggested. Thanks Pam!!!

At first, I wasn't going to make these cookies because of the "wet dough" reviews. I'm a beginner baker, and I just HATE sticky, wet dough. But I was craving for lime and sweetness. I used regular lime, and omitted the extra egg yolk. I used a ziploc bag with a cut corner to "spritz" the dough onto the cookie sheet. The powdered sugar made a big difference. They came out fantastic! They were a big hit, and disappeared in no time! Thanks for sharing!!!

Very nice cookie! I used 1/4 butter flavored crisco in place of 1/2 of the butter to make them nice and soft. Great taste!

I decided to use a frosting/pastry bag to make the intial batch and made small disk-shapes with peaks. They tasted great! To be experimental, I decided to attempt to make balls as instructed but I added more flour to the rest of the batch since the dough with the inital ingredients is extremly wet! I added just enough to make the dough workable. The taste of the final cookies was doughie and I threw them all out. I suggest just using the original required amounts and instead of making balls, just use a frosting bag and make small peaks (make sure they are small, around and an inch across, max). You can fit many together since they do not expand too much! Besides being less messy using the frosting bag, they look better! Also, do not even attempt to use a cookie gun/press. It was a disaster for me. The dough is just too soft for anything but a frosting bag!

PLEASE NOTE: This "dough" is IMPOSSIBLE to work with. You absolutely must add at LEAST another 1/2 cup flour to this in order to make it the least bit workable. I used legit Key Lime Juice and the cookies tasted fine - a good tartness to them. But the cookie itself seemed to be lacking. I don't know - the texture and taste of the dough was just blah. Needs more SOMEthing - more sugar or whatever. But after adjusting this recipe, they came out OK. Not terribly impressive but simple at least. I am betting any "juice" would work here - fresh squeezed oranges or lemons, for example. I may make this again, but I'll keep hunting for a better recipe.

Yummy cookies, but I had to add 1/2 cup of flour and still the dough couldn't be hand rolled so I used a cookie scoop. I also used only one egg because I didn't feel like separating the yolk. Great way to use the three limes someone put in my grocery bag by mistake.

These cookies are pretty good. I used bottled key lime juice and drizzled glaze (3/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 1/2 T key lime juice)over them while they were still warm in place of the dusting of powdered sugar. The lime flavor is very mild and the dough is fussy. My husband is a big key lime fan and he was not that impressed with these - but ate them anyway! The second/third day the flavor increased slightly and they tasted much better.
