Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Use a measuring tablespoon to scoop the dough and roll it into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten them with the palm of your hand or a flat glass.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Use a spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are cooled, make the white chocolate drizzle by melting the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl on 50% power. Stir the chocolate every 30 seconds until it is completely melted. Transfer the melted chocolate to a sandwich bag and snip off a small corner of the bag. Drizzle the chocolate over the cookies in a back and forth pattern.1 cup white chocolate chips

Notes
- For a simpler variation, try folding the white chocolate chips directly into the cookie dough instead of adding a white chocolate drizzle. This will save you time and still give the cookies a delicious and sweet texture.
- Once these cookies have cooled, they have a delightfully chewy texture that is sure to please any cookie lover. And with just a hint of tangy lime flavor, they're a perfect balance of sweet and tart.
- While these cookies make a great treat for St. Patrick's Day or Cinco de Mayo, they're also perfect for any occasion where you want a sweet and tangy dessert. Make them for birthdays, holidays, or just for a tasty afternoon snack!
