Key Lime Cookie Sorbet Sandwiches are a favorite summertime sweet treat on a hot summer day. It's a delicious variation of the classic Ice Cream Sandwiches.

The Chewy Key Lime Cookies are super easy to make and freeze really well making them easy to make ahead of time.

To make Sorbet Sandwiches I actually find it a little bit easier to assemble if the cookies are frozen for at least 20 minutes, since sorbet is a little bit softer than ice cream on the hottest of summer days. When the room temperature is above 75° the cookies still defrost fairly fast while helping prolong the sorbet from melting too fast.

We also like to keep a few flavors of sorbet on hand to fill the Sorbet Sandwiches with so everyone can personalize their own. I like to make standard size Chewy Key Lime Cookies so you can enjoy a few different flavors if you so choose.

Sorbet and Key Lime Cookies are delicious on there own but they are over the top amazing when you put them together!

They were the perfect sweet treat to celebrate the end of the school year in our house on a hot day!

Here's how to make these amazing Key Lime Cookie Sorbet Sandwiches:

4 Open Nature Sorbets from left to right: Prickly Pear, Raspberry, Passion Fruit, and Peach on a white and grey marble counter top with a pile of key lime cookies in the background.

The first step to making these was a stop at my local Safeway Store in Lake Stevens to purchase a variety of different flavors of Open Nature® Sorbets because they are a high quality product at a great value and the rest of the supplies to make Sorbet Sandwiches. We choose Open Nature Prickly Pear, Raspberry, Passion Fruit, and Peach Sorbets to fill our Key Lime Cookie Sorbet Sandwiches this time but they had several more flavors to choose from.

They even have a large selection of Open Nature non dairy desserts like Coconut Dessert Toasted Coconut or Oat Dessert Blueberry Crumble for a great alternative to traditional ice cream with sorbet, almond milk, cashew milk, oat milk, and coconut milk options for a great value that would be delicious with the Key Lime Cookies.

They also have the Open Nature Scandal-less light ice cream products that have no artificial colors or flavors and features a clean ingredient deck with guilt free indulgence. Sandal-less has lower calorie content with about 60-80% less calories then regular ice cream and 40-50% less fat than traditional ice cream but has a high protein content. A whole pint has 240- 370 calories.

They also have the high quality Signature Select™ Ice Cream line for a more traditional ice cream at a great value.

2 tablespoons Key Lime Zest sitting on top of sugar in a stainless steel mixing bowl fitted with a paddle attachment.

To make the Chewy Key Lime Cookies add to a mixer:
  • 1 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Zest
Mix on medium speed for 5 minutes to infuse sugar with lime zest.

Sugar mixed with Key Lime Zest with a rectangle of Cream Cheese sitting on top in a mixing bowl with a white mixing beater.

Add 2 ounces Cream Cheese and mix until well combined.

Sugar infused with lime zest with egg, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla added to a mixing bowl.

Add to mixing bowl:
  • 1/3 cup Shortening or Coconut Oil
  • 6 tablespoons Melted Butter
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Mix until well combined.

 
Flour added to Key Lime Cookie dough in a stainless steel mixing bowl with a paddle beater.

Mix in 2 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour until well combined.

Refrigerate Lime Cookie Dough for at least 1 hour covered to make it easier to roll.

A ball of Key Lime Cookie Dough sitting in a bowl of sugar.

Scoop Lime Cookie Dough using a standard sized cookie scoop and roll into a ball.

Roll Lime Cookie Dough ball in Granulated Sugar and place 3" apart on a parchment or Silpat lined baking sheet.

Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes until edges are starting to lightly brown.

Allow cookies to cool for 3-4 minutes on cookie sheet before moving them to a cooling rack to cool completely.


I like to freeze the Key Lime Cookies for at least 20 minutes to prevent the sorbet from melting too fast but the cookies can also be stored in the freezer for up to a month and defrost really well.

We used a biscuit cutter to core the Open Nature Sorbet and then cut it in half for each sandwich but you can also just scoop it and use a spatula to flatten the sorbet a bit before pressing between the cookies. The Sorbet Sandwiches can be made ahead of time and kept in the freezer until ready to serve. The cookies will be extra crunchy at first but will soften as they start to defrost.

Signature Select and Open Nature provide high quality ice cream and non dairy frozen dessert options for the whole family, available at a value in Seattle area exclusively at Safeway stores or at other Albertsons Companies family of stores, including Albertsons, ACME Markets, Jewel-Osco, Vons, Randalls, Shaw's Supermarket, Star Market, and Tom Thumb.

Safeway also offers Grocery Delivery and DriveUp & Go™for convenient ways to shop!
