These cookies are a great make-ahead dessert. I made them a few days ahead of time and they were still just as delicious when I served them. They're also a great cookie to freeze. I froze half of the batch and they thawed perfectly.

I made these cookies for a bake sale and they were a huge success! They sold out in no time. I think the combination of citrus flavors and the white chocolate chips was what made them so popular.
