Cookies with white chocolate and lime

Cookies!

I've bought a book called Galletas de último momento recently with a goal to learn some Spanish recipes for cookies (galletas). The cookies in the book are everything but "de último momento", usually they need special ingredient that I usually just DON'T have in my kitchen. But since I didn't bake anything for a month, I looked again into the book and found a relatively simple recipe for unusually sounding cookies. Lime and white chocolate? Hmmm....


The lime is tasty, the white chocolate is almost unrecognisable, there could be more sugar in it but having followed the recipe completely I do like the result. It's light and really doesn't take up much of the time to make.

Cookies with white chocolate and lime 

Blobs

(serves around 25)
you will need:

• 100g white chocolate
• 100g butter
• 200g sugar
• 2 eggs
• juice and zest from 2 limes
• 280g flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 100g pistachios

1. Chop the chocolate into small pieces. Beat the butter with the sugar until smooth. Then one by one add the eggs, the lime zest and juice.
2. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius.
3. Add the flour, powder and salt and mix well. Finally, add in the pistachios and the chocolate and mix lightly.
4. Put the batter in small globs on a cookie sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes or until slightly golden.

The green things are the zest, not mold.

They really are easy.
