When You Want Something Lighter Than Chocolate-Chocolate
Not every cookie craving is about richness. Sometimes you want something fresh, soft, and a little grown-up — and that’s where lemon comes in.
These soft lemon & white chocolate cookies are bright without being sharp, sweet without being heavy, and perfect for afternoon tea moments where you want something, not everything.
Another strong addition to the Single-Serve Baking collection.
