📝 Preparation Steps
1
Combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
cornstarch2 teaspoonsbaking powder1 teaspoon
2
In a mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and lemon zest. Rub the lemon zest into the sugar with your fingertips. Add the butter and beat for ⏱️ 1-2 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add vanilla, egg, egg yolk, and lemon juice, beating until combined and scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. The mixture might look a little curdled, that's ok. Add the flour mixture and beat until well combined. Stir in the white chocolate chips. Place the dough in the refrigerator for one hour.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a wide shallow bowl, combine ⅓ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Rub the lemon zest into the sugar with your fingertips.
4
Scoop the chilled dough into 2-tablespoon balls. Roll each dough ball in the lemon sugar. Place the dough balls a couple inches apart on the parchment-lined baking sheets. Pat the dough balls down just a bit to encourage spreading.
5
Bake for ⏱️ 9-11 minutes. The edges should just be beginning to set and the center should still look slightly underdone. If desired, place a few extra white chocolate pieces on top of each cookie (the heat from the cookie will make the chocolate melt and stick). See note section for tips on getting perfectly round cookies. Place the baking sheets on wire racks to cool completely. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
