Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
- Beat the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for 30 seconds on medium-high speed. Add in the sugar, lemon zest, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
- Beat in the egg, sour cream, lemon juice, lemon and vanilla extract.
- Turn the mixture down to medium speed and gradually add in both flours.
- Add in the white chocolate chips just until combined.
- Drop dough onto prepared baking sheet. I like to use a 3 Tbsp. cookie scoop for this because the batter can be very fluffy/sticky. (recipe will make ~12-14 cookies)
- Bake in preheated oven for 11-13 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides. The centers will still look very soft*. (See tip below)
- Make the optional lemon glaze while the cookies are in the oven. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the sugar and lemon juice.
- Brush the tops of the warm cookies with just a little bit of the the lemon glaze. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack. Garnish with more lemon zest, if desired, and enjoy.
Notes
- *Tip: While the cookies are still warm, place a circular cookie cutter or a circular drinking glass around one of the cookies (it should be larger than the cookie so you don’t cut off any edges) and give the cookies a spin. Swirling the cookie should help to smooth out any uneven edges to make the perfect circular lemon cookie!
- Make sure you’re using freshly squeezed lemon juice for the cookie dough and the glaze. Pre-bottled lemon juice doesn’t compare!
- Storage: Cookies will stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months. I usually store in a ziptop reusable bag.
- Make ahead: bake and cool the cookies as directed but do not glaze them. Place in a container in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw cookies for 20 minutes, brush glaze over and enjoy!
