Ingredients
- 1 cup cold butter (cut into cubes)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- Lemon Zest * (from 1 large lemon)
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract (optional)
- 3 1/4 cups Flour *
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups Lemon Chips or White Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, add cubed butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Cream together for 4 minutes or until light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl halfway through.
- Add egg, egg yolk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and lemon extract (if using). For extra lemon flavor, add more lemon zest.
- Fold in flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt just until combined. Fold in lemon flavored chips or white chocolate chips.
- Roll into 6-ounce balls. I suggest weighing the cookie dough with a food scale to ensure even baking. Place on a light colored baking sheet. It is important to use a lighter colored baking sheet or the bottoms may become too browned.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes. After baking, let set-up for at least 10 minutes.

Notes
- For extra lemon flavor, add more lemon zest.
- May use 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of cake flour.
- Yes! These Lemon Chip Cookies freeze very well. I suggest placing in a gallon-sized Ziploc freezer-safe bag. The cookies will keep in the freezer for months.
