Instructions

Step 1

Make the Ganache

Heat the heavy cream and coffee until it comes to a boil.

Combine the hot cream with the white chocolate. Stir until smooth.

Add the lemon juice and mix well.

Cover the ganache with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 5-6 hours.

Step 2

Prepare the Cookie Dough

In a mixer, combine the room temperature butter with both types of sugar and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Add the egg and mix until combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this to the butter mixture to form a dough.

Fold in the white chocolate chunks.

Form the dough into balls of about 70 grams (2.5 ounces) each and slightly flatten them. Keep in mind that they will spread a bit in the oven.

Step 3

Bake the Cookies

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Bake the cookies for about 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Step 4

Assemble the Cookies

Allow the cookies to cool for about 10 minutes.

Fill them with the prepared ganache.

Top with additional ganache and decorate as desired.

Faq

  • What can I use if I don't have a stand mixer?

    A hand mixer or even a sturdy spoon and some elbow grease can work just fine for this recipe.

  • Can I substitute the lemon zest with lemon extract?

    Yes, you can. Use about 1 teaspoon of lemon extract in place of the zest for a similar flavor.

  • How do I store these cookies?

    Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They’re best enjoyed fresh.

  • What kind of white chocolate should I use?
