White Chocolate Lime Cookies

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.
