Lemon and White Chocolate Cookies: A Delightful and Flavorful Treat

The biscuit combines delicious taste with health benefits, as white chocolate contains antioxidants that protect the body from diseases and strengthen the immune system. It also contains phenylethylamine, which improves mood and reduces stress. Lemon is rich in vitamin C, which helps enhance the health of the skin and hair. Here are simple steps to prepare it.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup fine sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Yellow food coloring (optional, for a vibrant color)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Ingredient Substitutes:

Butter:

  • Plant-based butter: Suitable for vegans and those following a plant-based diet.
  • Almond or peanut butter: Adds a different flavor to the dough and can be used as a substitute for butter.

Sugar:

  • Brown sugar: Adds a rich flavor and is a natural substitute for white sugar.
  • Natural sweeteners: Such as stevia or honey, but be mindful of the amount used, as it may affect the dough's consistency.
  • Artificial sweeteners: Like stevia or aspartame.

Mashed dried fruits: Like dates or bananas, they add natural sweetness to the dough.

Preparation Method:

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and continue beating until well combined.
  3. Prepare the dry ingredients: In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, and mix until a smooth dough forms.
  4. Shape the dough: Roll the dough into small 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each ball to flatten it slightly.
  5. Bake: Bake the biscuits for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the biscuits cool on a wire rack.
  6. Prepare the icing: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with fresh lemon juice to make the lemon icing. You can add yellow food coloring for a bright and attractive hue. In another bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with vegetable oil in the microwave, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
  7. Decorate the biscuits: Once the biscuits have cooled, decorate them with the melted white chocolate, then drizzle the lemon icing on top, creating a beautiful double effect.

Additional Tips:

  • Storage: It is best to store the biscuits in an airtight container to maintain their freshness. They can stay fresh for up to a week.
  • Flavors: If you enjoy distinctive flavors, try adding some grated lemon zest to the dough to enhance the lemon flavor.
  • Dark chocolate: If you prefer dark chocolate flavor, you can replace the white chocolate chips with dark chocolate for a deeper taste.

Lemon and white chocolate biscuits offer a delicious experience combining the refreshing taste of lemon and the sweetness of white chocolate, making them a perfect treat for any occasion. Try making them and enjoy their wonderful taste with family and friends!
