For more Disneyland-inspired sweets, check out my recipes for Red’s Apple Freeze, Churro Toffee, and Galaxy’s Edge Blue Milk. By now you probably know my family and I have an ever-growing obsession with Disneyland. We can’t help it! It’s so magical and it’s a place we all truly enjoy. I mean, what’s better than watching your kids’ faces light up with joy and wonder when they see their Disney heroes? Or watching them grin ear-to-ear as they anxiously wait in line for their favorite rides? And of course, while we love the rides and shows and characters we also love the food at Disneyland. They really go above and beyond to create one-of-a-kind magical treats for their guests. While I’ve created copycat versions of Disneyland treats before, like my Churro Toffee (Disneyland Copycat) recipe for example, this white chocolate lemon cookie was solely inspired by the special little guy in my life — my 4-year-old son. Whenever we go to Disneyland we make a beeline for the Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats shop in California Adventure to devour their It’s Snow Capped Lemon! cone. I mean, what beats lemon soft-serve ice cream dipped in white chocolate? Not much that’s for sure! Since we are missing Disneyland so much right now, I developed a similar treat that we could enjoy at home: these tart lemon cookies dipped in white chocolate. I gave him one to eat right after dipping into the white chocolate and he took one bite and his whole face just lit up! At least we can still bring a bit of Disney into our houses, one bite at a time!

Expert Tips and Customizations
The best part about these white chocolate lemon cookies is the customization. I mean, these cookies wouldn’t even exist if I hadn’t “customized” them myself with the Disneyland original in mind right?
If you don’t want to dip the cookies in white chocolate, then why not just add the white chocolate chips right to the batter before baking? Just as delicious, I promise! If you don’t have fresh lemons to zest, you can use more lemon extract or lemon juice — start with ½ a teaspoon and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice respectively. Taste and add more if necessary. Instead of rolling these cookies in sugar before baking, you could also instead dust them in confectioner’s sugar before (or after) dipping. Crush some lemon-flavored hard candies very fine. And add ¼ cup to the batter before baking or dip the cookies into the chocolate THEN dust with hard candies. Talk about layers on layers on layers! If you like the idea of adding crushed lemon drops on top of the white chocolate, but don’t have any, you could also use yellow or rainbow sprinkles.
