Lemon Raspberry White Chocolate Cookies

You’ll love these Lemon Raspberry White Chocolate Cookies.

This recipe takes about an hour and a half to make since the dough needs chill for 60 minutes before baking. It makes about 2 dozen cookies.

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp lemon zest
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 egg
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1.5 cups white chocolate chips
  • 6oz can raspberry cake/pastry filling

Recipe

  1. In a medium size bowl, mix together the butter, sugar, and lemon zest for 1-2 minutes. Then, add the egg and fresh lemon juice to the bowl then mix until combined.
  2. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and white chocolate chips to the bowl. Use your hands or a spatula to mix everything together until combined.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate dough for 60 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  5. Remove dough from the refrigerator. Roll cookies into balls and place them about 2 inches apart on a non-stick sprayed cookie sheet.
  6. Bake for 11-13 minutes and place cookies on a cooling rack to cool.
  7. While cookies are cooling, add the raspberry cake/pastry filling to a small pot. Heat on low and slowly stir in small amounts of water until the consistency is thin enough to use as a drizzle. It’ll take a couple tablespoons of water.
  8. Remove raspberry drizzle from heat. Drizzle cookies and enjoy!

Special Notes

  • Lemons You’ll Need – you’ll need at least 1 lemon for the zest and juice but…buy an extra lemon just in case.
  • Refrigerate Dough – don’t skip this step. Refrigerating the dough for 60 minutes will make your cookies thicker and chewier.
  • Raspberry Drizzle – line cookies on tin foil or parchment paper when drizzling. It’ll contain the mess because it’s quite a sticky process. Use a whisk to drizzle the cookies.
