Leftover lemons from the gluten-free pound cake plus cheap white chocolate equals some outstandingly delicious cookies. My SO says these are in his top, if not at the top, of his favourites. These are chewy, yet light with the burst of lemon, mixed with the creamy bits of white chocolate. I’ve use an all purpose gluten-free flour (store brand, nothing expensive) combined with almond flour which always yields the best results. They require about a ten minute cooling time after baking before they firm up as they are pretty delicate when they come out of the oven. Waiting to eat them is literally the hardest part! Small batch easily doubled if you want to share with others. Actually, that may be the hardest part, the sharing. Catch a reel on Instagram for a gorgeous visual!
If you have made these, I would love to share your creations. Feel free to send a photo or tag on Instagram @bairdsbaking . Find more recipes to and reels over there as well!
