Lemon and White Chocolate Cookies
The zesty lemon and creamy white chocolate chunks make for a fabulous cookie. These are easy to make but pay attention to the chill time: by omitting your cookies will lack flavour/can turn out cakey! White chocolate chips or chopped chocolate work fine - choose whichever you prefer!

Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 125 g Unsalted Butter Melted
- 120 g Light Brown Soft Sugar
- 100 g Granulated Sugar
- 1 Medium Free Range Egg
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 275 g Plain Flour
- 3 tsp Baking Powder
- Zest of 1 Lemon
- 200 g White Chocolate Chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, using an electric/stand mixer (or hand whisk, just double/triple the times) combine the butter and both sugars on medium speed for several minutes, until fully combined. Add the egg and vanilla and mix again.
- Add the flour, baking powder, white chocolate and lemon zest and fold until combined. The dough should be fairly solid at this stage (it ought to almost form a ball, albeit a very soft one!).
- Cover and chill in the fridge at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line 2-3 large baking trays. Roll into about 12 balls (use a tablespoon to scoop balls of dough). Place on lined baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes, until just golden at the edges. Let cool on a wire rack before eating!
