I am sending some baked goods to a friend for Christmas and he LOVES key lime pie, but he lives a couple states away, so mailing a pie, well that's pretty much out of the question BUT I thought maybe cookies would ship better, maybe even key lime bars? Any suggestions or recipes would be apprciated! Thanks!
