Lemon White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
Lemon White Chocolate Chip Cookies incorporate elements of lemon and white chocolate in a classic cookie base. Cold butter and sugar are creamed together to create a light, fluffy dough, enhanced by the addition of eggs, vanilla, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest for fresh citrus notes. The flour is combined with baking powder, baking soda, and salt for balanced leavening.
White chocolate chips are folded in before dropping spoonfuls onto lined baking sheets. Baking at 350°F produces cookies that are soft in the center with lightly set edges. Optional yellow food coloring can be added to accentuate the lemon appearance. A sprinkle of sugar or sparkling sugar on top provides a subtle crunch and a decorative finish.
