Chocolate Chip Lime Cookies

Sacha Lynn's Note:

These are chocolate chip cookies with a hint of lime, which gives them a nice darker shade and a noticeably different taste. If you use the iced tea scoop instruction, instead of the tablespoon method, the cookies will take somewhere between 15 and 18 minutes to cook.

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 16

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 0.5 (12 ounce) package milk chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 3/4 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 7 teaspoons lime extract

Directions:

1. Beat butter and sugars until they are fluffy (medium setting on a mixer).
2. Gradually add eggs and vanilla and beat well.
3. Combine flour, salt, and baking soda with the butter mixture, beating at low speed (low setting on a mixer) until blended.
4. Stir in lime extract and chocolate chips.
5. Drop onto lightly greased cookie sheet with a tablespoon; for bigger cookies, I used an iced tea scoop.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes (using the tablespoon), or 15-18 minutes (using the iced tea scoop) or until golden brown.
7. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
