Glaze
Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  

12 oz. white chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 key lime, juiced
Directions:
Directions:

Pour chocolate chips into a large glass mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat heavy whipping cream until just before boiling.
Pour the heavy cream over the chocolate chips, and whisk until smooth.
If needed, put an inch of water in the saucepan, and place the glass mixing bowl on top of it on the stove. Heat over medium high heat, whisking until the chocolate is smooth. Be careful that the water does not touch the bottom of the glass bowl, or the chocolate will scorch and burn.
Once the ganache is smooth, whisk in the lime juice.

Drizzle onto cookie.

Personal Notes:
These are good without the glaze, also. And...I melt my chocolate in the microwave....just watch closely and stir a lot. It will scorch before you know it.
