Note: I was sent some baking tools from OXO in order to write this post. Opinions are mine alone.
Every December, I love to share a recipe to support Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, which is why I’m bringing you this delicious Frozen Key Lime Pie!
Every year, OXO supports Cookies for Kids’ Cancer and the fight against pediatric cancer. To date there have been 14,000 grassroots fundraising events in all 50 states and Cookies for Kids’ Cancer has granted more than $18 million to the leading pediatric cancer research centers across the country. Cookies for Kids’ Cancer (CFKC) is a nonprofit founded by two OXO employees after their son, Liam, was diagnosed with pediatric cancer. Through grassroots bake sales across the country, CFKC raises funds to develop new, improved and less toxic treatments for childhood cancer. Liam Witt’s legacy lives on as the organization works toward a cure for pediatric cancer, helping children and families everywhere.
Here are some of my old cookie swap and Cookies for Kids’ Cancer posts, in case you’re in a baking mood (this is my tenth year participating!):

Every year, OXO supports CFKC by encouraging people to bake and share. To help inspire me to get backing, OXO sent me (paid links):
- Steel Pie Server: Designed to cut and serve with comfort, efficiency and style
- Glass Pie Plate with Lid: Perfect for pies, quiches, crumbles and more; easy to take from freezer to oven to table (or potluck!)
- CFKC + OXO “Be a Good Cookie” Spatula: These silicone spatulas are the perfect size for removing freshly baked cookies, even the most delicate
- Insulated Bakeware Carrier: Keeps food hot or cold; ideal for carrying baked goods to bake sales, potlucks and holiday parties
- 4 QT./4 L. Batter Bowl with Lid: A better batter bowl your fridge will love
For every cookie or dessert baked, OXO donates $1 to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer up to $100,000, so let’s get to that Key Lime Pie recipe!
