Cookie Swap Recipe.

Welcome. I hope you came via my QR code attached to my cookies. I hope you liked them enough to want to make them yourselves.  


My recipe is really  this recipe from Cookie Madness with 1 or 2 tweaks.  I wanted a cookie made without butter because I didn't have any on hand.   


White Chocolate Chip Cashew Lime Cookies 


1 ½  cups all purpose flour
½  teaspoon baking soda
¼  teaspoon salt
¾  cup granulated sugar
½  cup vegetable oil
½ teaspoon of Lime oil or extract1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 ½ cups white chocolate chips (more chocolate to compensate for the missing butter!)
1/3 cup cashews (whole or pieces, your choice)
¾ cup Rice Krispies (optional: I didn’t use it)


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Stir together flour, soda and salt. Set aside.
3. Whisk together both types of sugar, oil, egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture to oil mixture and stir just until blended. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
4. Add Rice Krispies if desired
5.   Using a tablespoon measure, scoop up dough and shape into tight rounds of about ¾ to 1 inch. Space them about 2 inches apart on two ungreased cookie sheets. The mounds should be bursting with chips (note: if the dough balls seem really dry, press them down a little bit). 
6.  Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes on cookie sheet, and then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.


Note: Makes about 2 dozen.  Can use all granulated sugar if brown sugar is not on hand. Add lime zest for more of a lime flavor.
