5 Ingredient Lemon White Chocolate Cookies

Hi Sarah Titus readers!  I’m Carrie from Carrie This Home here with a delicious, super easy, and inexpensive recipe.

Saving money doesn’t mean you have to skimp on taste.

A great way to save money on food is to cook and bake with recipes that use minimal ingredients.  Less ingredients means lower cost!  I started a collection of minimal ingredient recipes board on Pinterest to make sure I have an arsenal of recipes to choose from.

These lemon and white chocolate cookies are a shining example of the minimal ingredient concept.  Just 5 ingredients create a dessert that tastes simply wonderful.  The tangy, zingy lemon is smoothed out by the creamy white chocolate to create a taste party in your mouth!

5 Ingredient Lemon White Chocolate Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 box of lemon cake mix {important note: you will NOT follow the directions on the box}
• 1 tub Cool Whip
• 1 egg
• 1/2 bag of white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (optional; to keep cookies from sticking together)

Directions:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2: Blend the cake mix, cool whip and egg together using a mixer with the dough hook attachments.  In case you’re wondering, this is what the dough hook attachments look like:

If you don’t have a mixer or dough hooks that’s okay too.  Grab a big sturdy spoon to stir and look at this as a great workout for your arms!  There isn’t a lot of moisture in the dough so stirring by hand will require a little extra work.

Step 3: Next, fold in the white chocolate chips using a big sturdy spoon.

Step 4: Spoon heaping teaspoons of dough onto a greased or parchment paper lined cookie sheet.  I’ve found that using a small melon baller works great at spooning out cookie dough and helps keep the cookies all the same size.

Step 5: Bake cookies at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Step 6: Let cookies cool completely then dip both sides in powdered sugar so they won’t stick to each other.

Super easy, tasty and low cost.  Now that’s my kind of recipe!
