Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter adds moisture and richness
- 1 3 oz package lime or apple flavored gelatin contributes fruity flavor
- 3/4 cup white granulated sugar provides sweetness and structure
- 2 eggs, beaten functions as a binder for the dough
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract enhances overall flavor

- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour forms the base structure
- 1 tsp baking soda helps with leavening
- 1/2 tsp salt balances sweetness

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and green food color to the creamed mixture, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just incorporated.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for later.
Baking
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the sheet, spacing them about two inches apart.
- Press the reserved white chocolate chips gently into the tops of the cookies.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container. Use room temperature ingredients for better texture. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
