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.
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.
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.
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.

Tart and sweet lemon and white chocolate cookies that are soft and chewy.
Prepare 2 large baking sheets lined with baking paper. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 165°C fan.
In a medium bowl cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. For about 5 minutes.
Add egg yolks, one a time and mix well. For about 2 minutes.
Add lemon zest and slowly add lemon juice.
Add baking soda, salt and flour, mix well until just combined.
Stir in chocolate.
Chill the cookie dough in a fridge for at least 2 hours.
Scoop cookie dough on baking sheets. I used a cookie scoop and the weight of a cookie dough portion was 60 grams.
Arrange 6 cookies per baking sheet as cookies will spread.
Bake in the oven for 10 min.
Remove cookie sheets from the oven and using a cake ring or a cup, bring the edges of the cookies together and shape them into nice circles.
Let the cookies cool down on baking sheets completely. be careful, when cookies are hot, they are soft and crumbly that is why they need time to rest.
Store in the fridge an air-tight container for up to a week.
