Lime + black pepper = cookie deliciousness

Last week Deirdre sent me the Los Angeles Times' new cookie recipe book for Kindle. (It's a compilation of recipes from the past few years, including ones readers submitted for contests.) Some of them looked cool but called for ingredients that are hard to get here. But I needed to make something for the consulate cookie exchange and settled upon Lime and Black Pepper Cookies. They turned out great, although I forgot to take a photo until this morning. They also were pretty easy except for the zesting of the limes.
In other cookie-related news, I made Pretzel Chocolate-Chip Cookies, which I came across on Pinterest, for Laura to take to her Girl Scout party yesterday. They turned out quite well, too, even though I used white chocolate chips instead of the peanut butter ones called for.
Mmmm, cookies ...
