I converted these to gluten free cookies with great success. What a wonderful and different cookie! These cookies provide a sweet kick to the palate. The lime absolutely compliments the white chocolate and vice versa. I, too, reduced the zest just a bit for the frosting. I added a 1/4 tsp. xanthan gum, as well as 1/4 tsp. baking powder and bumped up the baking soda to almost 1 tsp. I used a gluten free flour blend I use for baking, and they came out great!! This is definitely a cookie recipe to share. It is different, refreshing, and so scrumptious! I have had several requests for 'that lime cookie' from those who I've shared them with. A new holiday and everyday regular for my repertoire.

these cookies are delicious - it doesn't sound like 2 flavors that would go together very well, but it is a great combination. made them last year at christmas, and got lots of requests again this year for them.

The white chocolate balances the lime, in the cookie, very well. I think I will go lighter on the lime zest for the glaze, next time. It was a little strong for my liking and I like limes. My picky husband liked them a lot, so that says a TON in my book! :-)

I made a double batch and in half I used the white chocolate suggested in the recipe. In the other half I used bittersweet chocolate chips. Both drew rave reviews when I took them to work. Personally, I like the bittersweet chips best.
