A classic lemon crinkle cookie with white chocolate chips. Bursting with lemon flavor!
Lemon Crinkle Cookies WITH white chocolate chips you say? Yes. Yes I did. Cause I just can’t help myself sometimes. My husband likes to say I tend to over do it sometimes. Like don’t mess with a good thing. But I just couldn’t help myself and went ahead and added some white chocolate. You don’t have to, these cookies are great without them too 🙂
My mom got this cool recipe book someone compiled that is full of all lemon recipes. She let me have it and I’ve loved going through it. I always wanted to try lemon crinkle cookies. My love for lemon continues and these cookies did not disappoint!
