Fabulously Fresh Lemon Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

3 tbsp lemon zest

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 large egg

3 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup sugar, for rolling cookies

1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

 

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and lemon zest with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes.

  2. Add in the lemon juice and egg, beat again to combine.

  3. Gradually add in the flour, baking soda and salt, mixing by hand with a spatula until combined.

  4. Add white chocolate chips and fold in until just mixed.

  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.

  6. Remove the dough from the fridge. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Place 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl for rolling the cookies.

  7. Use a cookie scoop to form balls, rolling each ball into the sugar. Place the cookies 2 inches apart on a silicone lined baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until the edges have a faint golden color.

  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.
