Chocolate Dipped Lemon Cookies Recipes

WHITE CHOCOLATE LEMON COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a baking pan or line with parchment or a nonstick baking mat.
• Combine butter and 1 cup of sugar in a large bowl. Cream 3-4 minutes til very light and fluffy.
• Add vanilla, extract, lemon zest, and egg and cream til completely incorporated.
• In a medium bowl whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
• Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix til just combined.
• Roll into 12 balls (I used a small cookie scoop and did two scoops per cookie ball). Roll in remaining 1/4 cup sugar and place 3 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 9-11 minutes - they should not be brown around the edges when you take them out, they may look underdone - and allow to cool for 10 minutes on the pan before transferring to a cooling rack.
• When cookies are completely cooled, combine white chocolate and oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 45 seconds, stir, return to microwave for 20 seconds at a time - stirring after each - until completely melted and smooth.
• Dip cookies halfway in the chocolate and allow to cool (popping them in the fridge for about 2-3 minutes will speed this up!) before serving or storing in airtight container at room temperature.
