Now that I have confessed to my wrongs I’ll get down to the nuts and bolts of the cookie (or should I say the flours and sugars!)
It’s a dense and chewy bite. I was really surprised that the candied lemon peel brought the flavor of the lemon throughout the cookie. The cookies additionally have white chocolate chips which is a nice contrast to the lemon, along with the sugared coating it gives the cookie a little sweet-tart taste.
I actually have another confession, I know, I know… shameful. I was disappointed in my candied lemon peel. It was just too chewy and hard. Of course if I had read the recipe thoroughly I probably would have made it the more time consuming way.
Live and learn!
