Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 pkg. (2-layer size) yellow cake mix
1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
2 Tbsp. zest and 1/3 cup juice from 3 limes, divided
3 Tbsp. water
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

Heat oven to 350ºF.
Prepare cake batter as directed on package, reducing water to 3 Tbsp. Add dry pudding mix, 1 Tbsp. lime zest and 3 Tbsp. lime juice. (Batter will be thick.)
Drop batter, 2 inches apart, into 64 mounds on parchment-covered baking sheets, using about 1 Tbsp. batter for each mound. Sprinkle remaining lime zest evenly over 32 mounds.
Bake 14 to 16 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out almost clean. Cool on baking sheets 2 min. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
Mix cream cheese, sugar and remaining lime juice until blended.
Spread cream cheese mixture onto bottom sides of plain cookies, adding about 1 tsp. to each; cover with remaining cookies, zest sides up.
