However, they fit into my 'spice' theme for October and have cocoa in them, so this post will be in celebration of Chocolate Week, which runs from the 10th - 16th October.
The cookie dough was very slack when made following the recipe, and even after mixing in another tablespoon of flour it was still very soft. I had to refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before I could handle it at all, and it was still very sticky. I thought I was making the balls of dough the correct size, but only got 18 out of the mixture instead of 30 - I guess that's the consequence of not having any scoops!

A pity that they weren't strongly spiced enough for you - it's very difficult to judge when making a recipe for the first time, and you can't really taste as you go along!
I like the idea of combining the spices with the chilli and lime, would you revisit the recipe and amend it or isn't it worth it?
Suelle, they certainly look pretty! I love the green flecks..
C - I think the chilli, chocolate and lime combination is worth exploring further, but I think I'd find a different basic cookie recipe - this one had too many flaws.
Thank you, Celia!
It is a shame you can't taste all the spices. It definitely looks pretty - quite Christmassy in fact :)
Sorry these didn't quite work. I love the idea of them, especially the lime sugar topping.
They look good and are a great size. What a shame the spices didn't come through.
Check out the size of those bad boys!!! Defo a treat with a cuppa ;0)
