Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Butter
  • 2 Cups Sugar
  • 2 Tbs. Fresh Lemon Zest
  • 2 Eggs
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Extract
  • 2 Tbs Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 3 Cups Flour
  • 12 oz White Chocolate Chips 12 oz bag
  • Yellow Food Coloring is Optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a couple of baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or spraying them with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream at room temperature or softened butter, sugar, and fresh lemon zest.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract, lemon extract, and eggs.
  • Add the fresh lemon juice and a bit of yellow food coloring if you want. I didn't, but if you want a deeper yellow color you can add some.
  • Mix in the baking soda and salt.
  • Add 2 cups of the flour and mix well.
  • Add the sweet white chocolate chips with the last cup of flour.
  • Using a cookie scoop, scoop 12 balls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet or cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. DO NOT overbake these cookies.
  • When they are done, they will not be browned at all. They will be puffy and look not quite done but trust me, they are. Overbaking will make them brittle and hard.
  • Cool slightly on the pan before transferring to a wire rack to completely cool.
  • Store in an airtight container or large Ziploc bag.

Notes

  • DO NOT overbake these cookies!
  • Fresh lemon juice and zest are an absolute must!
