Lemon White Chocolate Chip Cookies are chewy citrus lemon sugar cookies with sweet white chocolate chips. A soft chewy lemon cookie is one magical thing. Since it is such an in-demand recipe, I thought that I would change it up by adding white chocolate chips to make a perfect contrast to the tart lemon. The results are one amazing white chocolate lemon cookie!

Ingredients

Yellow food coloring for color
2 cups White Chocolate Chips
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1 1/4 tsp. Baking Powder

1 cup Butter slightly cold, cut into cubes

Method

01

02

In a large bowl, cream slightly cold butter and sugar for 4 - 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Add eggs one a time, mixing well after each addition.

Add vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest and stir to combine. If using yellow food coloring, add it now.
04

Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix just until combined.
