Hey, I have that recipe! Only without the lime, and it's noted down in my recipe book as "Uncle Larry's chocolate cookies" - I will try it next time to see what I've been missing, but in my experience the pepper somehow makes the chocolate taste unbelievably dark and intense.
I will try the lime, but I'm not taking my uncle's name off my cookie recipe! Maida Hatter can just deal.
Maida Heatter also did a whole Book of Great Cookies. My mom had both of them, and they were staples when I was a kid. The oatmeal chocolate chip cookies in the cookie book are the best ones ever invented. I'm having a moment just thinking about them. I'm going to have to dig those recipes up now.
Important cookie-related question: do you really add the lime AFTER the cookies are baked? How long do you let them cool before adding it? And don't they get soggy?
(We are on the verge of baking, so this is time-sensitive!)
Yikes! Well, it's probably WAY late now, but you just rub the lime over the (maybe half) cooled cookie. It's not a strong taste, and the cookies don't soak in the lime juice or anything. The not-completely cooled aspect allows the lime juice to kind of bind with the sugar of the cooling cookie, making it extra yummy.
