White Chocolate Lemon Sugar Cookies

These Lemon Sugar Cookies are perfectly chewy and filled with white chocolate chips. They are the perfect treat for spring or anytime of the year!

On a serious cookie note, if you are a lemon lover, then you are going to absolutely LOVE these cookies.

They are perfectly chewy and they have just the right amount of delicious lemony flavor. I added white chocolate chips, but if you prefer your cookies plain you can totally leave them out. I also added a few drops of yellow food coloring to give them that pretty yellow color, but that’s totally optional, too. Happy Easter, y’all!

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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
