1 teaspoon lime zest

Fill 2 (12-muffin) mini muffin tins with paper cups and spray cups with cooking spray Spray VERY well - they stick!). Place 1 Key Lime Cooler cookie in the bottom of the cup, flat side down.

Prepare filling. Beat together cream cheese, egg, sugar, lime juice, and zest until well mixed. Fill the cups to the top. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove tarts to cool.
