Lemon White Chip Cookies

Step 1: Preheating The Oven And Combine The Dry Ingredients

Preheat oven to 350 F
In a large bowl whisk the Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix, lemon instant pudding, and 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour. This adds air to the lemon cookie recipe and makes for a lighter cookie.

Step 2: Making Brown Butter To Add More Flavor To The Cookie Recipe

In a medium pot set on medium-low heat begin to melt the butter. Next, let the butter begin to bubble, and slowly foam will form on top of the butter.
Once the foam becomes opaque immediately remove it from the heat and let the browned butter cool.

Step 3: Add The Eggs And Cooled Brown Butter

Now using the rubber spatula add the butter and room temperature eggs, and lemon juice to the flour mixture. Make sure to scoop out the brown bits on the bottom of the pot. This is filled with tons of great flavor from browning the butter.
After slightly combining the butter and eggs and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice add the sweet white chocolate chips to the lemon cookie batter until combined.

Tip: Put the lemon white chocolate chip cookie mixture in the refrigerator for five minutes. This makes the lemon cookies spread less ad form much better cookies.
I have been baking for 25 years and I swear by this method when adding drop cookies to my baking sheets. In fact, this is my favorite cookie scoop of all time and I own it in every size. I use the smallest size scoop for these lemon white chip cookies.
Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake and set the timer for 12-13 minutes. After the timer goes off let the cookies sit on the cookie sheets for two minutes.

Next, remove the lemon cookies from the sheet pans and place them on a wire rack to cool completely. Store these in an airtight container for up to a week from light. If they last that long, ha, ha.
These also freeze well in a plastic storage bag for up to 3 months.
By following these tips and tricks, you can make amazing white chocolate lemon cookies that are sure to please any lemon lover. Happy baking!
