Preheat the oven to 350F and prepare a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl with a handheld mixer, cream together the butter, sugar, and lemon zest for 2 minutes or light and fluffy.
Add in the lemon juice, applesauce, and vanilla extract and mix on high for another 2 minutes.u00a0Note that the mixture may look a bit separated here, it's okay.
Measure in the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt and mix on low until a soft dough forms.
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
With a large cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheet approximately 2 inches apart. Place a few additional white chocolate chips on top if desired.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. The edges should be set and the center will appear slightly underbaked.
Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes on the cookie sheet before removing them to a wire rack to cool fully. Enjoy!
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 6 months.
