These cookies are my new favorite lemon dessert (shhhh, don’t tell my Lemon Cream Pie or Lemon Bars). I love that these cookies pack a ton of flavor without too much work. The cookie dough comes together in about 15 minutes. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. See what I did there? 😉

Why this recipe works
Flavor: Bright and tart lemon paired with sweet and creamy white chocolate. Using a combination lemon zest and juice adds maximum lemon flavor.
Texture: Cookies with soft centers and chewy edges, rolled in sugar for a little crunch.
Technique: Adding an extra egg yolk helps to make the cookies chewy and rich. A bit of cornstarch makes the cookies soft. Rolling the dough balls in lemon sugar adds an additional layer of flavor and texture.
Ease: This dough comes together in about 15 minutes.
Lemon tips and techniques
You will need 3 large or 4 medium lemons for this recipe.
Remove the zest/yellow skin from the the lemons before cutting and juicing them.
Use a fine microplane style grater for the lemon zest. Only grate the yellow skin, not the white pith.
For the lemon sugar topping, rub the lemon zest into the sugar with your fingers. This will make the mixture super fragrant.
