  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice, divided
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  3. Add the flour, salt, and baking soda, and beat to combine.
  4. Gently beat in ½ cup of white chocolate chips.

  6. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Portion 1-ounce (2-tablespoon) sized mounds of dough onto baking sheets, spacing them apart.
  8. Chill the dough while the oven preheats.
  9. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until they’re lightly golden along the edges but still underbaked in the center.
