Lemon White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Melt-in-your-mouth white chocolate chips baked into a delicious lemon cake mix cookie.
Ingredients
- 1 and ½ cups lemon boxed cake mix
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together boxed cake mix, flour, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugars on medium speed. Add egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest; mix until creamy.
- Add flour mixture to wet ingredients; mix just until combined. Do NOT over-mix batter. Fold in white chocolate chips.
- Cover and refrigerate dough for a minimum of one hour. Refrigeration makes dough easier to manage and helps cookie dough from over-spreading.
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
- Scoop chilled dough into tablespoon balls, or use a #50 disher to scoop balls of dough. Place on a ungreased baking sheet, or silicone mat/parchment paper lined baking sheet. Keep dough chilled in between batches.
- Bake 9-11 minutes, or until edges are slightly browned. Mine baked perfect at 10 minutes. Cookies may be soft in the middle, but will set as they cool.
- Cool cookies on baking sheet for 4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Eat & Enjoy!
