These Lemon Cookies with White Chocolate quickly became a hit with everyone. I was hoping that making a batch of these delicious cookies would at least last me a couple of days but it appears they are so good, that my guests ate them all in one sitting!
What is really nice about this lemon cookie recipe is that the lemon is not overpowering. That being said, if you do want these cookies to have a little more of a lemony flavor, you can either add a little more lemon juice or a bit of lemon extract.
Adding more lemon juice might alter the consistency of these cookies so you will need to experiment a bit to find the right balance. My wife wants me to try using lemon essential oil next time as you need so little of it.
