Add key lime zest and juice. Beat until mixed thoroughly and soft dough is formed. Divide dough into halves. Form each half into 1 inch roll. Wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate at least 1 hour or until firm. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice dough into ¼ inch slices. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes or until set. Cookies will not brown.
