Lemon Curd White Chocolate Chip Cookies

[heart_this] · Apr 7, 2017 · 10 Comments

Lemon Curd White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Intensely lemon-y soft and chewy white chocolate chip cookies!

With Spring here and Easter right around the corner I have been thinking about brighter recipes, recipes with lemons in particular, and with a fresh batch of homemade lemon curd and I was thinking that it would be perfect in some white chocolate chip cookies! White chocolate chip cookies are my all time favourite cookie and I usually make them with macadamia nuts so I took my favourite recipe and modified it by removing the nuts and adding plenty of lemon! I started by removing some of the butter to replace it with lemon curd and I increased the flour to compensate for the increase in moisture and I added a large heaping tablespoon of fresh lemon zest for an even more intense lemon flavour! These lemon curd white chocolate chip cookies are so quick and easy to make! Seriously! You could whip off a double batch and be thoroughly enjoying them 30 minutes from now!

Intensely lemon-y soft and chewy white chocolate chip cookies!

ingredients
  • 6 tablespoons butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup lemon curd
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
directions
  1. Cream the butter and sugars, mix in the egg, lemon curd and lemon zest followed by the mixture of the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt before mixing in the white chocolate chips.
  2. Form the dough into 1-2 tablespoon balls and place on a grease, parchment paper lines or silicon lined baking pan, spaces 2 inches from each other and bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until just lightly golden brown on the edges, about 8-12 minutes, before removing from the oven to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. (Do this in batches if required.)
Option: Replace the lemon curd with 2 tablespoons butter and 1 teaspoon lemon extract (or 1 tablespoon lemon zest).

      Has anyone ever tried substituting, something else in place of the white chocolate chips? Would it work with dried cherries or cranberries? I’m not a big fan of white chocolate but otherwise the recipe sounds amazing.

    I made this this week and they were good. I doubled the fresh lemon zest and purchased high quality lemon curd. Next time I would make Kevin's homemade lemon curd which would be much less expensive.

    Just made them and they were a great combo but my came out way too sweet. I agree with lots of lemon zest and make sure your lemon curd isn’t primarily sugar or you will have one sweet cookie!
