This week I’m experimenting on my work colleagues. I love this idea for chili, lime, courgette choc chip cookies, so I’m just converting to metric and giving it a go.

For the cookies:

• 300g plain (AP) flour
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 225g room temperature butter
• 200g golden caster sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup grated, drained courgette
• 1 scotch bonnet (habanero), seeded and finely chopped
• 1 tsp lime zest
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 200g choc chips

Cream butter and sugar, beat in eggs, lime juice & vanilla, mix in courgette, lime zest & chili, then the dry ingredients, and finally choc chips. Portion out 2 tbsp scoops onto lined baking sheets.

Bake at 180C fan for 12 minutes, turning half way through.

Lime glaze:

• 250g icing suagr
• 1-2 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tbsp lime zest

I’m making this pretty thick as I need to transport these cookies to work.

Clearly I need to get better at glazing…

They are very much more cake than cookie (cakies?) despite the colouring on the edges. I guess that’s the courgette. However they are delicious! For our tastes they need more spice, maybe another chilli, but for taking to work they’re perfect.
