Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour (195 grams)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (3 grams)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (4 grams)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter ((room temperature) 4 ounces)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar (50 grams)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon key lime zest ((or zest of 1 key lime))
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons key lime juice
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (90 grams)
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar (86 grams)
  • 1 - 1 1/2 tablespoons key lime juice
  • Zest from a lime to sprinkle on top

Instruction

  • Line a light colored baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat. (Dark baking sheets make the cookies brown fast on the bottom.)
  • In a small bowl, add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix together until combined.
  • In another bowl, add the butter and sugar and mix until the texture is smooth and creamy. Add in the egg, vanilla, lime juice and zest and mix until combined.
  • Slowly add in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
  • Add in the white chocolate chips and fold until mixed in.
  • Use a cookie scoop to place the cookie dough in tablespoon (1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons is good for these cookies) scoops on the baking sheet. You should get 20-24 cookies.
  • Refrigerate the scooped cookie dough for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375ºF.
  • Once the cookie dough is chilled, roll the scoops into smooth balls. Don't handle the dough too much, just roll for a few seconds to get the ball smooth.
  • Bake for 7-8 minutes (mine were done in 7). Do not overbake! Allow the cookies to cool a few minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
  • Once cooled, mix together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of lime juice to form a glaze. Add the 1/2 tablespoon of lime juice if needed to get it to a drizzling consistency (I usually use 1 1/2 tablespoons). Drizzle teaspoon amount of glaze on each cookie, sprinkle with zest and allow to set so the icing can harden. Enjoy!
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
