  • Author: Audrey
  • Array: Array
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cold butter (cut into cubes)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • Lemon zest from 1 large lemon
  • 2 Tablespoons Orgeat syrup
  • 3 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups Lemon Chips or white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add cubed butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Cream together for 4 minutes or until light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl halfway through.
  3. Add egg, egg yolk, lemon zest, and orgeat syrup. For extra lemon flavor, add more lemon zest.
  4. Fold in flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt just until combined. Fold in lemon chips or white chocolate chips.
  5. Use a 1/3 cup scoop and roll into balls if you’d like the Levain-style cookie. You can also make these smaller for a regular size cookie. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 
  6. Bake for 9-11 minutes (regardless of size!). After baking, let set-up for at least 10 minutes.
