14/08/2025

• 200g All-purpose flour
• 150g Butter
• 100g Cane sugar
• 100g Brown sugar
• 100g Blond chocolate (or white chocolate)
• 1 Egg
• 1 Lemon
• 1 Tsp. baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of vanilla
• Poppy seeds ad lib.

1. Turn the oven on to 180 degrees celsius. slice the room-temperature butter into a bowl and mix it with the cane suger and brown sugar until somewhat fluffy.

2. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla and egg; mix again.

3. If you're a nerd, mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, poppy seeds & salt) in a bowl and sift it into the mixture -- If you're like me just pour it all in haphazardly -- mix again.

4. Chop the chocolate into little pieces and mix it in.

5. Taste the cookie dough.

6. Roll the mixture into 9-12 balls and put them on a baking sheet, then press them slightly down.

7. Put it in the oven for 8-12 minutes depending how you like your cookies. I like mine chewy, so they'll be in the oven until the surface starts forming little crevices like a dried out lake, but before they form a crust on the top.
