Right now it’s time for citrus be in abundance here in Arizona so with that in mind I whipped up these White Chocolate Dipped Lemon Sugar Cookies.
These cookies are soft and chewy with a nice tangy bite to them but the white chocolate candy evens that out with a sweet kick! These cookies are so easy to make and are a great change from a chocolate cookie! Refreshing, tangy and sweet all in one little cookie!!
And we all know sprinkles of any kind make everything better! I love this yellow sanding sugar on these cookies so so pretty!!

Ingredient list calls for 1/4 cup sugar. Written instructions read 1/2 cup sugar. Which is correct?
Hi Suzy, this was a guest post and I haven’t heard back from the creator of the recipe. However, based on other sugar cookie recipes I believe it to be 1/4 cup sugar. Let me know how that works for ya and I’ll try to add this to my menu in a couple weeks to test it. w-
