Servings 24 Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoons (142 grams) unsalted butter softened at room temperature
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- Zest from 2 limes plus more for garnish
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 ounces (170 grams) white chocolate chips plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Line two baking sheets with parchment or lightly grease.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a large bowl, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy.
- Beat in the egg, followed by the lime zest, lime juice, and vanilla extract.
- Add the flour mixture and beat just until combined with no streaks of flour remaining.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Form the dough into 1 inch (2.5 centimeter) rounds and place on the prepared baking sheets 2 inches (5 centimeters) apart. Use your palm to very lightly press down on each round to form a thick disc.
- If desired, top each disc with 2-3 more white chocolate chips and a small sprinkle of lime zest.
- Bake the White Chocolate Lime Cookies in the preheated oven until set and the edges are beginning to turn golden, 10-12 minutes.
- Allow to rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool to room temperature.
