WHITE CHOCOLATE AND MINT LEMON COOKIES

 

May 1, 2016

SHARE:

Show Mom your sweetest and most authentic affections by baking her Lemon Cookies with White Chocolate and Mint. These homemade cookies crunch and dissolve into creamy puddles. The lemon, chocolate and mint refresh and crunch to addictive proportions . It's best you make a double batch (the recipe doubles easily), just to be certain you have enough to give Mom on Mother's Day.

Today, I am joined by a group of talented bloggers from the Sunday Supper Movement to celebrate Mom's Favourite Recipes with a collection of delicious Mother's Day recipes. I'm very proud to contribute this recipe to the event-- Lemon Cookies with White Chocolate and Mint. I expect Mom will adore these cookies, bite-after-bite.

These beautiful cookies were slightly adapted from Shirley Corriher's exceptional book BakeWise.

I came across your site quite by accident. My daughter is 7 years old and she loves to bake. I am more of the bake from the box kind of person but my daughter is the actual baker among us. We have been looking for a fun cookie idea so that we can bake during Spring break. This will be a perfect recipe for us. Thank you for this recipe. Raheela

How nice. Thank you for your note. Our goal is offer recipes that keep the flavour and texture intact without all the extra sugar. The photo tutorials show you what the cookie dough (or batter) should look like at all points along the way. We want you to be successful! Let me know how your daughter does with our recipes. Kim

Is it possible to freeze the dough ?

Kim 2019-04-23

Absolutely! Best to roll the dough first, wrap it in plastic wrap or parchment and then freeze. Thaw in the fridge, slice and bake. You won't experience any loss of flavour. These are delicious cookies. Enjoy them. Best, Kim
