    Lemon White Chocolate Chip Cookies

    What I love about these Lemon White Chocolate Chip Cookies are their pretty pale yellow color!  We didn't use yellow food coloring, but the lemon pudding really makes them pop with 'sunshine' yellow!

    And those white chocolate chips?  We cannot even stop drooling how good they taste with the lemon pudding cookies!

    About White Chocolate Chip Lemon Cookies

    • They are super easy to make!  It does require a mixer, but you can do everything in one bowl!
    • You don't have to chill the cookie dough.  As a matter of fact, you don't have to bring the eggs and butter to room temperature.  Take the butter and pop in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to get the butter not so chilled but still has structure.
    • 3 kinds of lemon!  Lemon juice, lemon zest and lemon pudding!  We got the lemon covered!
    • Instant lemon pudding and Greek yogurt (or sour cream, depending which you use) make these cookies so soft, fudgy and deliciously addictive.
    • White chocolate chips and lemon are incredible together!  Have you ever tried this combo?  You need to!

    Easy Cookie Tips

    • When baking, make sure to not overbake your cookies. It's better to underbake just a tad, so they are fudgy and soft.  Overbaking will dry them out even by a few minutes.
    • Let cookies sit on baking sheet after taking them out of the oven for a few minutes, so they set up and don't break or tear apart when you transfer them to a wire baking rack.

    Storing Lemon Cookies

    Cookies should be stored in a covered container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days, if they last that long!

    Can I Freeze the Cookie Dough?

    Of course! Roll the dough into balls and freeze. You can bake them straight from frozen, no need to thaw first!  Just add a couple more minutes to your baking time!
