Cornmeal Lime Cookies with Rich Hot Cocoa

Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup white sugar plus 3 Tbs
1 egg
zest of 1-2 limes
juice of one lime
3/4 cup cornmeal
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups flour

Procedure
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat butter, 2/3 cup sugar, and egg together. Add everything else but the 3 Tbs sugar. Mix well. Drop scoops of batter unto a lined or greased cookie sheet. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to flatter the each batter scoop into a flat disk. Dip the glass or measuring cup in the 3 Tbs of sugar before and after pressing down each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Serve with hot cocoa (trust me; I know ti sounds strange, lime and chocolate, but it's absolutely scrumptious).

For a rich hot cocoa, mix 1 cup milk, 3 oz semi-sweet or bitter-sweet chocolate, 2 Tbs honey, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp allspice in a saucepan over medium heat for 5-10 min or until all ingredients have combined and cocoa has reached desired temperature.
