I've been craving a cherry limeade from Sonic for about 7 years now. No, really. I gave up soda sometime in college, and to this day, I never have it--with one exception: Barbecue. If I'm eating a chopped brisket sandwich, I'm sipping on Dr. Pepper. It's just my Texan roots that make it so. Last time I had barbecue, I was super duper pregnant, and even more steadfast in my anti-soda ways. I told myself I'd only fill up my glass half-way from the fountain. I succeeded!...in filling it up half-way no less than 3 times. And then another time on the way out the door. Mama fail. Oh well, Camille still seems fine.
My eyes spotted a jar of bright red raspberry sorbet in the grocery store the other day, and I swear it was an out-of-body experience when I reached into the freezer and put it in my grocery cart. I almost never buy ice cream. I like making it, or we go to Ted Drewes. But I had to have this bright red sorbet! I mean, look at the color! It's something no Photoshop adjustment can create. It's ruby jewel-toned and I adore it. When I sandwiched it between two bright and zesty lime cookies, it was perfection!
I wish I could tell you if you can add the raspberry sorbet and the put the cookie sandwiches back in the freezer to serve later, but honestly, I eat these straight away. They never make it that long. But if you have willpower, please, make them and let me know!
I had some leftover no-churn strawberry ice cream in the freezer, and I was going to test it with the lime cookies but again, I ate them all so quickly! Next time, next time. There will definitely be a next time for stuffing sorbet and ice cream between soft, little lime cookies.

You know what is sad? How much this babe of mine doesn't like sweets! Like I get sick right after eating anything more than a nibble. Shame I tell you. I hope my sweet tooth returns upon his birth as this mama needs these sorbet cookies!

I LOVE Sonic's cherry limeades! Such a fun, guilty pleasure- especially when they have happy hour and it's only a $1 ---> clearly I've been more than a few times. And- are you in St. Louis?! We just moved there a few weeks ago and have already been to Ted Drewes like 5 times. It's so unbelievably good! These look amazing, can't wait to make them!

I can't believe how incredibly simple this recipe seems for a treat that seems like a lot of work! Leave it to you, man. And oh mama, I try to avoid soda as much as possible but since I've been preggo, when I do have a few sips of a Coke, my eyes roll back in my head and I let out guttural moans.. super sexy coming from a huge pregnant lady still in her pajamas.
