minutesCookies are one of the most widely made sweet treats by almost every woman. You can make cookies with nearly everything! Whether you have butter only, chocolate, dried fruits, berries, or even lemon! There are so many ways you can bake cookies!
It is the perfect way to spend your afternoon and bring an instant smile to your kid’s face! The smell of freshly baked cookies is unmatched and can surely brighten your day!
You might like to stay true to your family recipe when baking cookies. For most of you, chocolate and nuts describe a cookie. A few would like to add something more for a change. But if you want to try something different for once, you must try this amazingly easy and unbelievably delicious cookie recipe! We have three main ingredients that create the magic; white chocolate, coconut, and lemon. Trust me! These cookies are divine!
Are you confused about how the three flavors will work? Well, let me explain. White chocolate is known to be too sweet, so when you add lemon to it, it not just balances out the flavors of the chocolate but also adds a refreshing citrusy flavor. Coconut, on the other hand, adds a tropical punch and texture to your cookies, making them the perfect treat for summer and spring!
For some, white chocolate is a bit unusual ingredient. Where chocolate originated in Mexico some 4000 years ago, the origin of white chocolate is unclear. Most people thank Nestle for introducing it commercially in the 1930s. Coincidently, the first-ever chocolate cookie recipe also came around the 1930s. (Cookies are believed to originate in the 7th century in Persia). So, we can safely say that it wasn’t long after that white chocolate was used in cookies!
Talking about this cookie recipe, I love it when I taste big chunks of white chocolate in the cookies. They offer gooey-ness. But if you find the sweetness too overpowering, try using white chocolate chips. They work just fine.
Now I hear many complaints regarding the texture of cookies. My friends often complain their cookies end up flat. Well, there are two main reasons. Either you are adding too much sugar or too little flour. Honestly, practice is the key here. When you keep making these cookies, you get an idea about the texture and result.
I love using a hand whisker for no apparent reason. But if you want to speed up things a bit. Try using an electric mixer. It will cut your work in half!
The secret to delicious cookies is not just the right ingredients and quantity; it is lots of love! You need to put your heart into them; the results are perfect. The smile you see on your loved ones’ faces as they enjoy freshly baked White Chocolate Cookies With Lemon & Coconut is the real reward of your work and effort!

2 tbsp lemon zest
55 ml (1.9 fl oz) lemon juice

- At the very end, add chunks of white chocolate to the dough and mix everything with a spatula. Optionally, you can leave 1/3 of the chocolate for decoration. To make it easier to work with the dough, put it in the freezer for 15 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 180 degrees C° (356 F).
- Roll the dough into small balls, decorate them with chocolate pieces if desired. Put parchment paper on your baking dish, and place the cookies with a generous distance from each other. Remember, they will double in size.
