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:
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.
To make the Chewy Key Lime Cookies add to a mixer:
- 1 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lime Zest
Add 2 ounces Cream Cheese and mix until well combined.
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 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.
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!
