White Chocolate Chip Lemon Cookies

By srumbel

You could have these cookies made in about 30 minutes – they’re that simple yet so super delicious! I made a bunch of little cookies so they would go further, but you could easily make them bigger – like the one I got at McD’s!

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, press the lemon zest into the white sugar until it's fluffy and fragrant. Add the brown sugar and butter and cream until smooth and fluffy.
Beat in the egg.
Mix in the lemon juice.
Add the flour and mix until just combined.
Fold in the white chocolate chips.
Roll golf ball size (1in) balls of dough in your hand and gently press them onto the cookie sheet 1-2 inches apart- slightly flattening them.
Bake 9-11 minutes or until air bubbles form and the edges SLIGHTLY turn golden.
Remove from the oven and cool on the cookie sheet 3 minutes. NOTE: If you remove them before 3 minutes, they will be too soft and will break.
Move to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an air tight container for 3-4 days or EAT IMMEDIATELY!
