Lemon Cookies with White Chocolate and Toasted Coconut

Friday, August 19, 2011


This recipe was inspired by a few of my favorite ingredients -- they ended up pairing together so nicely and created one delicious cookie!  These are crispy on the outside but chewy on the inside.  The white chocolate is such a compliment to the lemon and the coconut is very subtle.
