Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened (dairy free or regular)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a standing mixer with the paddle attachment or a handheld mixer, combine butter, lemon zest, and sugar, mixing until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the egg and lemon juice, and mix until combined and light in colour.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients until combined, then stir in the white chocolate chips. Do not over-mix!
  • Use a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop 1.5 tbsp sized balls onto the baking sheets. Be sure to leave at least 4-5 inches between each ball of dough, as the cookies will spread out.
  • Bake one tray at a time for 8-11 minutes, until edges look set. The middles will look soft.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

FLOUR: It is very important that you measure your flour properly! The right way to measure your flour is to weigh it with a kitchen scale, or use the scoop and level method.
Storage and Freezing:
 
Keep the cookies in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days at room temperature.
 
To freeze, place in a freezer bag and let thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
