This new recipe for tart and sweet lemon and white chocolate cookies is phenomenal. They are sweet but tangy and perfectly soft and chewy.
I tried many lemon cookies in my life and I still could not find the one that has a strong lemon flavour. Therefore I wanted to create a lemon cookie with a proper lemon blast. After some trials and errors here it is my favourite lemon cookie so far.
How to make lemon and white chocolate cookies
To make this recipe, you need to follow the standard cookie steps. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then add egg yolks and mix. Next step is adding lemon juice and lemon zest, mix and add dry ingredients. Mix again until just combined . Divide cookie dough into portions and bake.
This recipe is perfect for beginners as does not require any special skills.
Useful tips:
- You can prepare the cookie dough in advance, store it in the fridge for up to 2 days and bake cookies whenever you like.
- Leave space between cookies as they will spread. I place only 6 cookies on a large baking tray.
- Use a kitchen scale to portion your cookie dough. It will help to achieve consistent results and allow all the cookies to be baked to perfection.
- In order to get a nice round cookie shape, swirl a large cookie cutter or a mug around each cookie. Do it gently right after cookies are baked.
- Do not chop chocolate too finely as it will melt and you will not get nice chunk of white chocolate.
How do lemon and white chocolate cookies taste like?
The texture of these cookies is soft, dense and chewy. Cookies are dense but in a nice way. And every bite is very satisfying. Big chunks of chocolate add extra texture.
The flavour is tangy and bold, you can actually taste lemon! White chocolate chunks add sweetness and balance the tartness.
How to store these wonderful cookies
Store these cookies in a fridge in an-air tight container. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months – in an air-tight container.
