Lime cake mix cookies are my latest obsession. Why? They are so simple to make. You might be wondering, “What’s a cake mix cookie?” It’s the easiest way to make cookies. Generally made with yellow cake mix, you just add a few more ingredients for a time saving cookie hack. These Lucky Lime Cake Mix Cookies are perfect for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, or for any occasion when a delicious cookie is in order.

Delicious Lime Gluten Free Cookies

What I love about this recipe is that it blends the flavor of lime (from Jello) with gluten free yellow cake mix for perfect lime cookies. And if you are hesitant that the gluten-free mix won’t taste good (I know, a lot of gluten free desserts are lacking in the taste and texture department), trust me, these gluten free cookies are addicting!

These little green cookies are iced with a tasty white chocolate drizzle and have a little extra color with the help of rainbow sprinkles. This recipe has only 6 ingredients in total. You can’t go wrong and this will become your quick go-to gluten-free cookie recipe.

Lime Cookie Recipe Tips

• These cookies have a nice chewy texture once cooled, and they have a hint of lime flavor.
• This is must-make recipe for St. Patrick’s Day or even Cinco de Mayo (they pair nicely with tequila).
