- When cookies are done baking remove from the oven. While cookies are still hot use the back of a spoon to lightly press down on the center to form a well. Let the cookies cool.
- When cookies are cool, place a dollop of icing in the center. Spread evenly on the cookie. Continue until all cookies are finished. Place cookies in the fridge until ready to serve.
- To serve, place a thin slice of lime on each cookie. Enjoy!
