Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp lime zest from fresh limes
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips high quality, with real cocoa butter

Instructions
 

Preparing the Dough

  • Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and lime juice until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and lime zest.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in the white chocolate chips.

Shaping and Baking the Cookies

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

Cooling

  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • 1- Use fresh limes for the best zest and juice flavor.
  • 2- Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
  • 3- Store in an airtight container or freeze for longer freshness.
