Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 190 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 150 grams White chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden while the centers remain soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies slightly warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
