White Chocolate Margarita Cookies

These margarita cookies were inspired by my love of the salty and sweet combination. A dish or bake doesn't seem complete without having the sweetness offset by salt or the savoury element given a hit of sugar. These cookies do this beautifully with their zesty middle and sugar and salt coating. 

Like with the cocktail, as you take your first sip, your mouth gets an explosion of salt then a hit of zest. The dough is flavoured with orange and lime zest for a sweet, zesty centre before being rolled in sugar and salt. As they bake, the savoury crust hardens so you end up biting through the savoury like crust into the doughy cookie. Yum! 

 Whilst baking these delicious cookies, why not make our Margarita recipe!
