My family is made up of all lemon people. On birthdays, we skip the usually cake and go for lemon meringue pies. We fight over the lemon Starburst or lemon skittles and there’s always freshly squeezed lemonade in the refrigerator every summer. Last Christmas, I had a lot of baking ingredients leftover, so I decided to make lemon cookies. Unfortunately, the lemon cookies didn’t make it to the Christmas Eve party. They were eaten up within an hour. I’ve learned my lesson and will be making a triple batch this year. These lemon cookies melt in your mouth. The lemon flavor mixed with the white chocolate chips creates the perfect combination. If you have any lemon people in your life, make sure to bless them with these cookies this holiday season, or any season.
