Awesome with Sprinkles

When Life Gives You Lemons… Make Lemon White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Whew! This past month has been a doozy! As you heard, the hosting provider for the blog was hacked back in February back and the blog has been totally jacked up for the past few months. It’s been a crazy scramble to put the pieces back together. But we made it through!!

I got by, with a little help from my friends. 🙂 A super special thank you to Detty’s hubby for helping me with the technical side of things (databases are just not my cup of tea). I will forever own him peanut butter rice krispy treats.

Though the timing couldn’t be more inconvenient, it turns out it wasn’t the worst thing that could have happened. Going into 2016 we had plans for relaunching the blog with new branding, adding in some new features and updating our tech. Plus we had two new awesome gals; Detty & Liz join our little team. Changes were happening and this just forced us to push forward a bit faster than we probably would have otherwise. You never know what you can accomplish until life smacks you straight in the face with a big old sack of lemons, right?

We made it through to the other side. Better. Bolder. Bluer. 😉 Awesome… now with more sprinkles.

And without further ado, COOKIES!

I know I said there would be pink lemonade, but I promise that these lemon white chocolate chip cookies won’t disappoint. This is one of my favorite go-to cookie recipes. Not only are they SUPER EASY to make, they have a lovely light and fresh flavor that isn’t too tart nor too sweet.

They have graced the dessert tables of several occasions this year and are perfect for when you want something a little different or maybe a little fancier than a regular chocolate chip cookie. They are perfect for tea parties, baby showers, Easter dessert (or before dinner, who are we kidding) and summer pool parties.
