Then stir in sifted flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until dough is thick and looks like this: Flatten a 1 inch ball of dough into silicone baking cups. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes or until they begin just barely cracking on the top. Press cookie/cupcakes down with a spoon, compressing them, and place in refrigerator to cool. Combine & Blend Key Lime Pie filling ingredients in blender. Pour Key Lime Pie filling into the silicone baking cups once the cookies have cooled and place in the freezer for 2-4 hours.
