Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup corn starch
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then, prepare your baking sheet by lining with a silicone liner or parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the separate bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add in the sugar and room temperatureĀ butter. Cream together until light and fluffy.
  • Then, add in the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well blended.
  • Slowly add in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until everything is well incorporated.
  • Then, add in the white chocolate chips.
  • Scoop out cookie dough using a large cookie scoop and place onto baking sheet 2 inches apart.
  • Place cookies in preheated oven and bake anywhere from 10-14 minutes. Exact baking times can vary. Mine took the full 14 minutes. But, just be sure to remove them when the edges start turning a golden brown color.
  • Remove cookies from oven and allow them to sit on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
  • If desired, you can sprinkle the cookies with powdered sugar for extra richness!
  • You can then place cooled cookies into an airtight container or a freezer bag to store them up to 5 days.
