White Chocolate Lemon Sugar Cookies
Description
This cookie dough starts by creaming butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then incorporates egg, lemon extract, and light corn syrup for moisture and sheen. A mixture of flour, baking soda, and baking powder is sifted in to provide leavening and structure. White chocolate chips are folded into the batter for bursts of creamy sweetness.
The dough is chilled to firm up, making it easier to roll into balls coated in sugar before baking at a moderate temperature. The 10–12 minute bake time ensures edges are set while centers stay tender and chewy, creating a pleasing texture contrast. The yellow food coloring is optional but enhances the lemon theme visually.
These cookies offer a lemon-scented bite with creamy white chocolate accents, suitable for gatherings or casual snacking. Cooling on a wire rack prevents sogginess and maintains texture.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons lemon extract
- 2 Tablespoons light corn syrup
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar for rolling cookies in
- yellow food coloring optional
Instructions
- Cream together butter and 1 cup of sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add in the egg, lemon extract, and corn syrup, and a few drops of yellow food coloring (if using) and beat until combined.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Add to creamed mixture, beating a little at a time until fully incorporated and smooth. Stir in the white chocolate chips. Cover dough and chill in the fridge for one hour.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll chilled dough into balls (about 1/8 cup each) and roll in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Bake on prepared cookie sheets for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set. Cool on a wire rack before enjoying.
