Chewy White Chocolate Lemon Cookies

By srumbel

I love the creamy sweetness when paired with citrus fruits. It does a great job of balancing out the tartness of the fresh lemon juice and zest. This citrusy combination makes these cookies irresistible. I paired my lemon with sweet, creamy white chocolate. A great combination for these chewy white chocolate lemon cookies.
