What You’ll Need To Make Lemon Cookies

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make lemon cookies. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full instructions.

• Butter– I generally use salted butter for my cookies, but unsalted works fine too. Add an extra pinch of salt to the recipe.
• Granulated Sugar– This is a fine white sugar that gives the cookies their sweetness.
• Brown Sugar– Make sure when you measure brown sugar, it is packed in the measuring cup.
• Eggs– For consistency, I use large eggs in my recipes.
• Vanilla- For best tasting results use pure vanilla extract.
• Lemon Curd– Find lemon curd near the jellies and jams at your grocery store.
• All-Purpose Flour– Flour is the main dry ingredient in the cookie recipe.
• Instant Pudding Mix– Find instant pudding mix in the baking section near the jello and pudding boxes.
• Baking Soda– Baking soda helps the cookies rise during baking.
• Salt– I use kosher or sea salt for my recipes.
• White Chocolate Chips– Find white chips near the other chocolate

How To Make Lemon Cookies

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream Butter and Sugars. Place butter and sugars into stand mixer and beat until combined.

Eggs, Vanilla, Lemon. Add eggs and vanilla mixing to combine. Stir in lemon curd and lemon zest.

Dry Ingredients. Slowly add your flour, salt, baking soda and chips, beating until just combined.

Scoop Dough Onto Baking Sheet. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.

Bake. Bake for 11-15 minutes, until baked through. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring. Store in an airtight container for longest lasting freshness.

Recipe Tips For Success

• Use Good Butter. Using real butter is key when making cookies. Double check to make sure it’s fresh and properly softened before making cookies.
• Don’t Skip The Lemon Curd. Check your grocery store’s jam and jelly isle for lemon curd. It adds the perfect sweet and tart aspect to the cookies.
