It's official. My Lemon Chalet Creams are dunzo. All gone. I've been dreading this moment since the end of Girl Scout cookie season but, luckily, I found something that is going to help me through the many months of Girl-Scout-cookie-less-ness.
WHITE CHOCOLATE LEMON COOKIES.
Mmm. Doesn't that just sound good?
I know that in the picture they don't look that amazing but trust me, they're delicious. I found the recipe a few weeks ago and, knowing that I was getting low on my LCC stash, I pinned it to Pinterest. Last weekend I whipped up a batch for a party and they were every bit as good as I'd hoped they be. The lemon just really gives it some extra umph. I added more lemon than the recipe called for because I really like to taste the lemon -- 2 full Tablespoons of lemon zest and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for good measure. I may even add in just a little bit more next time -- I likes me some lemon!
Here's the recipe:
Cream:
1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
Add 2 eggs.
In a second bowl, combine:
2 1/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp fresh lemon zest (Here's where I used 2 Tablespoons and a twist of juice)
Mix together the wet and dry ingredients and then add 2 cups of white chocolate chips.
Bake at 350 for 7-8 minutes until golden brown.
EAT!
I found the recipe here and I love that in her post she says they should be called, "Sweet Rays of Sunshine" because I totally agree.
