White Chocolate Lime Cookies
Posted by Celine on December 30, 2007
these are buttery, crispy, and delicious. feel free to use dark chocolate instead of the white!
for 10 medium cookies
4 T vegan margarine
6 T sugar in the raw
zest of 1/2 a lime, about 1/2 T
1 t fresh lime juice
1/2 t pure vanilla extract
3/4 cups all purpose flour [scooped, not spooned. leveled.] update: you can use the same amount of light spelt flour, scooped and leveled, but you’ll only have to add 1 t of milk alternative in this case]
1/4 t baking soda
1/4 t baking powder
1/4 t coarse sea salt
2 T vegan white chocolate chips
1 T full-fat milk alternative [coconut, soy...: I used unsweetened soy; only use 1 t if you go for the spelt flour option!]
preheat oven to 350F. prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper or Silpat.
in a large bowl, beat together the margarine and sugar until creamy.
add zest, juice, extract, mix some more.
sift flour, baking soda, baking powder together in a medium bowl. add salt, mix wet and dry ingredients until crumbly. add milk alternative until dough is formed. throw in chocolate chips until combined.
shape your dough into about 1 1/2-2 T balls. flatten a little, as the cookies won’t spread out much while baking.
bake for 14 minutes [about 1 minute less with the spelt flour option] or until the edges are golden.
let cool for a minute or two on the sheet, place on a cooling rack.

Lime + White Chocolate + Pistachios is also a winning combination. Happy New Year! :)
