These Key Lime Pie Crinkle Cookies are a twist on a classic crinkle cookie with tart key lime and rolled in graham cracker powdered sugar.

These Key Lime Pie Crinkle Cookies came about from a class I took back in January.

I use the word class loosely.

When I take baking classes it’s rarely to learn the technique.

Not to sound snobby but at this point I already know how to make most things in the baking realm.

But what I do want to learn in the chef’s process.

I’m always interested in how people form their ideas.

So I signed up for a chef/baker who a lot of people compare me too.

Her baked goods are based on nostalgia and she uses candy bars and what not.

So similar.

Now, I’m used to classes from places like William Sonoma that are live but I have taken classes where it’s pre-recorded.

And while they are pre-recorded the person (or a person) pops into the chat rooms and answers questions and gives feedback.

This class was pre-recorded.

Which fine, I get it.

But we then were put into peer groups which had mostly beginner bakers.

Which again, is fine.

Except no one came to answer people’s questions.

It was up to the peers to do so.

That ended up being me and another guy who had baking experience.

And then it hit me….I paid a lot of money to be the one having to answer questions and figure out what went wrong with their baked goods.

So after the first week I stopped participating in the peer group.

Because I didn’t have time.

The other issue was the teacher was WILDLY out of touch.

She did the class in her commercial size kitchen.

We spend 9 days on creating a cookie.

Which she wanted us to create 4 to 5 cookie dough bases and keep them in our fridges for days.

We also had to have about 30 different mix in options out on our counters as well.

My kitchen is 81 sq ft.

And I have zero counter space usually and my fridge is filled with you know…food.

While I didn’t stay in the peer group I did do all the assignments.

One was creating a cookie.

I decided to go key lime since I love key lime everything.

Crinkle cookies sounded fun.

I use food coloring but you don’t have to.

P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook Holy Sweet!
