Lemon White Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe – soft and chewy cookies with lemon zest and white chocolate. Sweet and tangy and so easy to make!

To me, every season has it’s scent. Summer smells like peaches, fall smells like cinnamon and winter smells like pine trees. Spring to me definitely has a scent of lemon. Freshly grated lemon zest is my favorite this time of year. I love adding it to my baking projects or simple pasta dishes. Few days ago I added it to my favorite roasted potatoes, then sliced the lemon and placed it over chicken right before baking. So good!

Today, I am sharing our favorite Spring cookie: Lemon White Chocolate Chip Cookies. Soft, chewy, tangy and sweet.

White Chocolate Coconut Latte – sweet and creamy hot latte that turns a cold, winter day into a sweet bliss! Stay warm at home and make this latte in minutes!

The coffee lover in me is back at it again. This time with a white chocolate and coconut combo. You guys, it’s fantastic!

There is something about white chocolate and coconut that makes you think about winter. It could be the color or the shape of the shredded coconut, but who cares. It’s delicious and when mixed with a freshly brewed cup of coffee – it makes for a fantastic latte!

White Chocolate Cranberry Sugar Cookies

White Chocolate Cranberry Sugar Cookies – soft and chewy cookies topped with melted white chocolate and dried cranberries. Easy and delicious treat to bake on a cold and snowy day!

How do you feel about a white chocolate and cranberry combo? I hope you are like me and love it, because these cookies are all about it. Soft and chewy sugar cookies are topped with melted white chocolate and dried cranberries and ready to much on.

This idea is based on one of my favorite bars, ones that I make a lot this time of year – Cranberry Bliss Bars (a Starbucks Copycat). I can’t call them Cranberry Bliss Cookies since there is no cream cheese frosting involved (even though I had strong intentions to do so) but they are still absolutely delicious!

I actually made them in a hurry. I had a batch of my favorite sugar cookies all baked and cooled. They were waiting to be frosted. But then I was in a hurry, leaving for a ballet class with my girls and there was no time to whip up a frosting. So melted chocolate it was!

When in doubt, melt some chocolate. Only good things can come out of it. Also, when it’s cold outside – bake something! It always works and it’s bound to put you in a good mood.
