Lemon Pudding Chippers

Every time I go to make a dessert my first thought is chocolate. What can I say, it's my fave. But once in a while I want something lighter/different so I hit up pinterest! And these lemon cookies were a rare pinterest success story! Soooo yummy.

I like to make them bite-sized (Paradise Bakery chippers anyone?!) so people are more likely to grab a few :). Also don't be alarmed if the batter is suuuuuper thick and hard to stir! It was for me (broke my spatula?) so I was pretty doubtful but they turned out great. 

Lemon Pudding Chippers

Ingredients: 

- 1 c sugar

- 1/2 c softened butter

- 1 egg

- 2 T milk

- 1/3 c sour cream

- 1 small box lemon pudding mix

- 1/2 tsp salt

- 1/2 tsp baking soda

- 2 tsp lemon juice

- 2 c flour

- 1 (12 oz) bag white chocolate chips (mini might be better for chipper-sized!)

- zest from 1 lemon

- yellow food coloring (optional)

Directions:

- Preheat oven to 375* 

- Cream together sugar and butter

- Mix in egg and milk

- In separate bowl combine sour cream, pudding, salt, soda and lemon juice (warning: THICK!)

- Combine sour cream mixture with butter mixture and flour

- Mix everything until smooth

- Mix in white chocolate chips, zest and 1 drop yellow food coloring

- Place quarter-sized balls of dough on slipmat on cookie sheet

- Bake for 5-7 minutes, depending on oven (mine took 5 min and 45 sec)

- They should look gooey when you take them out! Smack down the cookie sheet and let them sit there for a minute, they will harden as they cool

- Transfer to a cooling rack or parchment paper

- Enjoy! :)
