Equipment
- Microwave-safe bowl
- Whisk
- Mixing spoon or spatula
- Cookie scoop
- Parchment paper
- Baking sheet
Ingredients
- 1 cup 164 g white chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp 30 ml fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- ½ cup + 2 tbsp 57 g quick oats
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, 15–30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Whisk in the lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in lemon zest and oats until evenly mixed. Batter will be thick!
- Scoop 1 tbsp-sized portions onto the tray and flatten slightly into disks using the back of a spoon or your fingers.
- Optional: sprinkle a little extra zest on top for extra flavor and brightness.
- Chill in the fridge for 30–60 minutes, or until cookies are firm to the touch. Let sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before eating.
Notes
- You’ll only need one large lemon for both juice and zest — maybe not even the whole thing!
- Be sure to strain your lemon juice for best texture.
- Want them sweeter? Use 2 tbsp less oats.
- Want more oat flavor? Add 2 tbsp more oats.
- Smaller scoops work great — I use a 1 tbsp OXO scoop.*
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer.
