Tips For Making Lemon Cookies
Let the cookies cool fully
They are very soft and tender when they first come out from the oven which means that they are capable of falling apart.
Allow them to cool completely on a cooling rack so that they can firm up. They will still taste unbelievably delicious.
Customisations & Substitutions
Use vegan white chocolate chips. This also works so well. Some days I actually prefer this flavour combination. No matter which type of chocolate chips you use, you'll love these cookies so much.
