Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons Key lime juice I used bottled
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini white chocolate chips (or regular white chocolate
  • chips chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons green sprinkles
  • 1 11- ounce bag white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening or vegetable oil
  • Green nonpareils for topping

Instructions

  • Oven to 350. Spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake,stirring halfway through, until lightly toasted, 10 minutes. Let cool on the baking
  • sheet; whisk to break up any clumps.
  • Beat the butter, brown sugar and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high
  • speed until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the
  • toasted flour, then the lime juice and vanilla.
  • Stir in the mini white chocolate chips and sprinkles until just combined.
  • Refrigerate until the dough is firm but not hard, about 30 minutes.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls and arrange on the prepared pan. Refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Combine the white chocolate chips and shortening in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals,stirring, until melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Gently drop a dough ball into the melted white chocolate and spoon more chocolate on
  • top to completely coat. Lift out with a fork, letting any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl; return to the baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle with nonpareils. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
