Lemon Crinkle Cookies

 

These melt-in-your-mouth Lemon Crinkle Cookies are absolutely dreamy. This cookie recipe is one of my favourites, I could have these for dessert everyday and be happy!

 

 

 

 

 

I love lemon. There is just something about that tang and sour sweetness that is just so satisfying.

I cook and bake with lemon often because I can’t get enough.

I buy lemons by the bag and eat about half of them myself. It’s funny because my girls love to eat lemons too, and I am pretty sure that might be a bit unusual.

 

 

 

In any case, even if you aren’t apt to just bite into a lemon, you are sure to love these Lemon Crinkle Cookies.

These lemon crinkle cookies just melt in your mouth. They are a little bit cakey with a super soft, tender texture that is absolutely dreamy. I honestly have the hardest time not eating an entire batch at once.
