Sharing my favorite lemon cookies today! Treat yourself to my Springtime White Chocolate Lemon Pudding Cookies! You’ll be glad you did 🙂
Lemon Cookies
Lemon cookies are some of our very favorite cookies to make! My oldest son is a lemon dessert kind of boy. We were in the mood to make cookies a few nights ago and he said, “Mom, let’s make some lemon cookies!” He didn’t have to twist my arm 🙂 We created these perfectly delicious lemon chip cookies with lemon curd as the secret ingredient. Just enough tart and just enough sweet with the white chocolate chips. The pudding adds such a great texture. Give these babies a try, you won’t be disappointed!

My batter didn’t come out as firm as yours in the picture, any suggestions of why?
When you say two sticks of butter do you mean half a cup? Or two full blocks of butter?
One stick of butter equals 1/2 cup, so two sticks will be 1 cup. Let me know if you have any other questions 🙂
Ahhh-mazing! I love the white chocolate and lemon combo!
Those cookies look so good!
In step 3. – you need to add that you add the PUDDING along with the flour to the mixtue .
