Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime zest
- 1 unit large egg
- 2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams white chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the lime zest and mix on low speed until evenly distributed.
Beat in the egg, lime juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the white chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy the delightful combination of tangy lime and creamy white chocolate!
