  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Cream butter and 1/2 cup sugar together in a bowl with an electric mixer. Add egg yolk and vanilla; blend until combined. Mix in dry ingredients and continue to blend until dough sticks together, 1 to 2 minutes.

  • Beat cream cheese in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in confectioners' sugar. Add lime juice and zest; mix to combine.
