   Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and spray your cookie sheets with nonstick spray.

3. 3
   Add the lime juice and grated lime peel.
4. 4
   In another bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
5. 5
   Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until moistened.
6. 6
   For best results refrigerate the dough for about 1 hour, or put in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
7. 7
   Form the dough into balls and place on your prepared cookie sheet.
8. 8
   Bake for 8-10 minutes. Allow to rest on cookie sheet for 2 minutes.
9. 9
   In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, key lime juice and key zest in a bowl.
10. 10
    Add in milk and continue stirring until mixed well and it's a nice thick consistency, yet pourable. If you need to add a tiny bit more milk, it's okay.

    Scoop frosting onto cookies and use the back of a spoon to smooth it on.
12. 12
