This recipe is all about things that I love. Cookies. I mean, who doesn’t love cookies – both making and eating them, key lime anything, and silky, white chocolate.
Key Lime Chippers, because they’re a drop cookie, they’re incredibly easy. No rolling into balls or shapes, no chilling the dough. Mix, drop, bake, and eat. Could they be any easier?
WHAT DO I NEED TO MAKE THESE COOKIES?
- Butter. Use real butter, not margarine or shortening. The butter adds a richness and a lot of flavor.
- Both granulated sugar and brown sugar – again, use both. They contribute differently to the recipe, each adding their own special nuances to the finished product.
- Egg. Self-explanatory.
- Lime extract and vanilla for flavor. If you don’t have lime extract, increase the vanilla to 1 ½ teaspoons or add a bit more lime zest.
- Key lime juice – this one is perfectly fine to use Persian limes. Key limes are more tart, which I love, but it doesn’t make a huge difference in the cookie.
- Flour, baking powder, and salt.
- White chocolate chips. Use whatever brand you like. If you have a white chocolate baking bar, you can use that – simply chop it into little chunks.
