What if I don’t have a silicone baking mat or parchment paper or wax paper, will my cookies still be soft?

True story, my college roomates Mom used to ship us delicious homemade lemon cookies monthly. We were SO spoiled! This look super similar so I will give them a try!

Lemony desserts are my favorite when the weather turns warm. These cookies are something I’ll need to try. They look great, and I love the pale color with the white chocolate chips.

It is always a toss up between lemon and chocolate for me! But pass over these lemon cookies because you have a winner!

Lemon is one of our favorite dessert flavors around here and these cookies sound perfect!
Erin @ The Speckled Palate says
I love that you made these lemon cookies from scratch! While I don’t necessarily have a problem with boxed mixes, there’s something so satisfying about a cookie that you made from start to finish… and these ones? Gorgeous. Seriously. I can envision them being devoured during the summer months here because they’re light and fresh and the kind of dessert you want to eat during the hot months. I cannot wait to make these!
Erin @ Texanerin Baking says
I love that they’re from scratch! I’m not a fan of recipes that call for box mixes. 😉 And lemon + white chocolate is one of the best combinations EVER. 😀
