All the fresh flavors of a lemon bar packed into one delicious cookie! These buttery and perfectly chewy cookies are loaded with tart lemon flavor, white chocolate chips and dusted in powdered sugar. I use 1 Tbsp LorAnn's natural Lemon baking emulsion instead of lemon extract

Ingredients

16 servings

1 ½ cupssalted butter

softened

1 ½ cupsgranulated sugar

3eggs

1 tsplemon extract

¼ cupcanola oil

4 ½ cupsall purpose flour

3 tspbaking powder

yellow gel food coloring

1 ½ cupswhite chocolate chips

½ cuppowdered sugar

1 ½ tspcornstarch

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°.

OvenPreheat

Step 2

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar for 1 minute.

Step 3

Scrape the sides of the bowl and add in the eggs, lemon emulsion and canola oil. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Add in the flour and baking powder. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Add the yellow food coloring a few drops at a time until you have a deep yellow color. The cookies will get lighter as they bake.

Step 6

Lastly, mix in the white chocolate chips.

Step 7

Scoop the cookie dough out in a heaping 1/3 cup portions. Roll into a ball. Break the ball in half and then smash the two half back together, leaving the rough edges up. This will give the cookie top some good texture.

Step 8

The cookies will spread and flatten a bit as they bake, so keep them fairly tall. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Step 9

Arrange on a parchment paper or silicone baking mat covered pan. Place 6 cookies on each tray.

Step 10

In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and corn starch.

Step 11

Spoon a generous amount of powdered sugar onto the top of each cookie.

Step 12

Bake at 350° for 14-16 minutes. The cookies will spread slightly and puff up in the center. That is when you know it's time to take them out of the oven.

Step 13

Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 20 minutes before serving.

Step 14

Serve warm and enjoy!
