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
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- 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.
- Add egg, egg yolk, lemon zest, and orgeat syrup. For extra lemon flavor, add more lemon zest.
- Fold in flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt just until combined. Fold in lemon chips or white chocolate chips.
- 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.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes (regardless of size!). After baking, let set-up for at least 10 minutes.
