So the only thing that could be done was to bake sunshine in cookie form. This recipe comes from Cassie Craves..she loves all things lemon like I do so I knew I had to give these a shot. Cassie mentioned that they reminded her of lemon cake and I gotta say..I thought so too :) They were so soft and the white chocolate/lemon combination really works! If you eat these while they are warm you don't really taste the lemon flavor..let them cool a bit and then you get a nice shot of lemon. I think if anything that it needs one more shot of lemon and then it would be a perfection. Thanks so much Miss Cassie for another winner of a recipe!

Sunshine in cookie form! I love it!
I'm so glad you liked these, Sonya! We just got pounded with about 6 inches of snow around here, and a little taste of summer is just what I could use right now, so I think I may actually make a batch of these this weekend. Thanks for reminding me how good they are :)
Mmm they look lovely!
I wish I had the stuff to make these. They sound divine.
We are having a blizzard to dangerous to leave the house and there is nothing yummy to eat! I want to make something but missing most ingredients! Damn! It's totally going on my shopping list for sure....looks delish! Hope you have a wonderful weekend and stay warm!
my man just said he's not sure he's ever had a lemon bar and now i'm on the search for a good lemon bar recipe. do you know of one?
i love how you put the plate on the snow - i showed him too, and we laughed together, cuz now it's dumping snow again and our will to live is fading.

Lytha the snow has got to go already!
As for a lemon bar recipe..I have several bookmarked to try..do you want a serious lemon punch or a slight one?
Oh yum, I remember eating cookies like this when I was younger and absolutely loving them. There's just something about that flavor combo that works so well. I'm starting a new linky on my blog called "Sweets for a Saturday" and I'd like to invite you to stop by and link this up.
Those cookies look amazing. After adding lemon zest to my muffin recipe last weekend, I've been craving more of that fresh lemon flavor! Your cookies are it!
Sounds awfully good - I love lemon and white chocolate but can't say I've found many ways to combine them. I'll definitely try these, and perhaps I'll try a biscotti with them, too!
Anne thats a great idea about the biscotti!!
These look wonderful...perfect for a snowy, winter day.:)
Sonya - its been awhile since I've visited your blog. I love the design and your signature too! Well done!!!
Love the photos also. Onto finding my favorite recipe (taco salad). Have a good day - Susan
It's great to see you Susan!! I haven't made Taco salad for awhile now..I think it's time. We love it aswell : )
I found you through Lisa's linky. I'm now your newest follower. http://moogieland.blogspot.com/
If those cookies can't warm you up, nothing will! They look so
DE-licious!
I hope the sun comes out for you very soon.

Thanks so much for linking this up with Sweets for a Saturday. I truly appreciate your support. Hope to see you again next week. By then, I'll have a cute button that you can grab and add to your post.
These cookies caught my eyes, twice. I bet they taste awesome.
Mmm, lemon. It's so dreary here today that I had to look at your cookies - a quick little burst of sunshine!
Thanks for this recipe, I want to try something like this with my daughters.
You're welcome..Happy Baking!
