Hey, I forgot to add the link for the zester! Here it is: amzn.to/2UaArOV ALSO, I used a tablespoon of lemon paste but if you're using lemon extract I would use 1/2-1 teaspoon. If you don't have either handy just add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice. Happy Baking!!!
Yeah, I can't afford a zester at the moment. I used my serrated knife. It did a pretty impressive job! And you're right, an extra spoon of lemon juice works just fine! Happy Baking!
Hi John Thankyou so much for your entertaining videos and awesome recipes. Just a question i made the lemon cookies and when i added the lemon juice to the butter/sugar mixture it curdled ☹, i added the dry mixture and just going. I wondered though why it did that, is there something i did wrong?
HI john By lemon paste , do you mean lemon curd ? Because I tried replacing eggs and a little butter by some of the lemon curd in spritz cookies and the results were really good
Omgosh I was thinking the same thing during this video. I understand if he doesn’t want to show us everything but maybe just the kitchen??? And two goats and a dog 😃 🤗 John?? Maybe?
I made these yesterday and they are the best lemon cookies I've ever had. Sometimes I just want a fully soft cookie and these are perfect. I didn't have lemon paste or extract so I added about an extra half tablespoon of zest and it still had a strong lemon flavor. I also mixed the sugar and zest together really good, let it sit and infuse while i put the other ingredients together and that worked perfectly. I'm a new subscriber as of a few days ago and I'm hooked on your channel. You're excitement for baking is what I love and exactly how I feel about it. Looking forward to more videos and trying out more recipes.
What I do when I make a recipe similar to this, is pulse some freeze dried raspberries in a the food processor and mix them into the glaze. I call them pink lemonade cookies.
I love lemon-flavored desserts because I have a lemon tree in my backyard so I'm always trying to find new lemon desserts. I made them without the glaze because I didn't want them to be too sweet and they make amazing little snacks!
No you gotta try the glaze it's not sweet i swear i tried it it's kind of sour you won't taste the sugar it's so lemony i think it would add more flavor to your cookies
Zehra I haven’t tried it myself as I only went looking for it when I read your question, but it seems wikiHow has a lemon paste recipe, if you’re the DIY type. If not, there also seem to be a couple of online stores to buy it from (though, I don’t know where you live and how convenient shipping would be). Hope that helps. 😊 WikiHow: www.google.com/amp/s/m.wikihow.com/Make-Lemon-Paste%3famp=1 A couple store links (though, there are more): www.webstaurantstore.com/nielsen-massey-4-oz-lemon-paste/104NM85404.html amoretti.com/products/lemon-artisan-flavor
I found lemon extract (same bottle he shows) in the regular grocery store, Ralphs, to be exact. I’m pretty sure it’s a standard item in the baking section of any grocery store.
Zehra No problem. I live in the US, so shipping prices for me aren’t *terrible*, but I knew they possibly could be for others. There are more recipes than wiki’s, but I linked the first non-alcoholic one I found, just in case you’d specifically wanted the paste because of alcohol content. Good luck with your recipes!
Just wondering, you say 1 table spoon baking. SODA when you add it in. When I went over to the written recipe it says BAKING SODA in the ingredient list, but in the directions it says add BAKING POWDER. Is baking soda correct or is it baking powder? They look so delicious and I am so anxious to make them!
My husband and I absolutely love your channel. He has always loved cooking and now he is into baking. Thanks to your recipes he has started a new small business selling pies, cookies and cakes. He does all the baking I just wash dishes and chop, juice, get ready ingredients lol. Thanks, John. You are awesome.
Details. You say that you use two teaspoons of baking soda in your video demonstration and ingredients list states two teaspoons baking soda; however, the instructions portion of the recipe says use baking powder in item number two. Baking powder and baking soda are not interchangeable. Please be cautious of recipe details. This is the second misprint that I have found when following one of your recipes.
Could you make a video on how to become a baker? It could be series - utensils needed for beginner intermediate and advanced... recipes for beginners... techniques for beginners... how to personalise a recipe??? Substitutions in advanced recipes for a beginner? You are so methodical and enthusiastic, it is so easy to learn from you!
So I followed the recipe exactly (I weighed everything) and when I put my cookies in the over they didn’t spread. They were still balls of dough. Can anyone tell me where I went wrong?
I just had this same problem & came back to the video to see if anyone had advice. Good thing this was my practice run & I hadn’t planned on serving these but I’m so disappointed!
My country (Italy) is quarantiing and I swear in these boring days stuck at home I am gonna make so many of your recipes that I am going to run out of videos😂
I'm forced to be gluten free, I have a great one-for-one blend I use, but since all of the gluten-free stuff tends to be cakier than wheat, I wonder if I would need the cornstarch? Do you have any experience with gf stuff?
love your cookies, but on my second batch put to much lemon juice, thinking since i don't have the paste it will do the same. Wrong, it make a flat cookie, but taste amazing. thanks you
Made these today and Ohhh boy are they good!! You'll forget chocolatechip cookies after this🥰 FUNFACT: I broke an egg too while making this recipe, it never slips off my hand i guess its the recipe. So be careful of your egg-grip while you make these🙊
These lemon cookies are delicious. I made them for Christmas this year. My husband, son and I eat all of them. I made two more batches one for us again 🤣 and one to take to work. I also made your Ricotta, short bread, butter, and oatmeal cookies. Double batches of all. One for home and one for work. My co-workers hunt me down to tell me how good they were. I’m now called the cookie lady at work. You are a brilliant baker. I have been baking since I was 12 now 50. You’ve introduced me to knew tricks and better ways of doing things. You are a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world. I’m now looking at your pound cakes to try. 💕

The cookies turned out amazing! I've made so much of your cookies and is subscribed to your channel. This is by far one of the best cookies i've ever had. I didn't have vanilla paste or extract so I just used some extra lemon zest and they still turned out amazing. :)
I'm obsessed with this channel. Everything you make makes me want to get in the kitchen and try it. I'm wondering if you would ever experiment with some almond flour/ coconut flower recipes and monk fruit as a sugar substitute?
You're literally the best cooking channel on RU-vid!!! So easy to follow, incredible editing, I honestly love you & your amazing recipes! Big love from the UK 🙌🏼
I made these a few things, I rolled them out into a ball BUT they didn’t spread they remained in a ball. I did cut the sugar to 1/4 of each brown and white sugar I don’t know if that made a difference. 2nd, I could use MORE lemon. I did use some dry lemon zest I made because I had a lot of lemons. But these came out good.
I’m confused. I followed the recipe completely and my dough is a bit liquidy and not stable. However I have placed the bowl of cookie dough in the fridge to freeze, is there anything I should do or is it going to be okay?
Just to confirm before I attempt this recipe, is it cornstarch or baking powder? The video mentions cornstarch but the linked recipe states baking powder.
John: It's amazing, and you're gonna die. Me: The best death I could ask for. Also, the egg part caught me off guard, I had to pause the video to laugh 😂
Let's hear it for 'Lemon-aholics' ! I'm not a big sweets person, but if there's lemon-something, I'm likely going to have it. (keep your chocolate, death by lemon, please :) ) If I don't have a lemon or two in the fridge, I kinda panic lol.! I'll be trying out this recipe soon. @Preppy Kitchen - I hope these aren't cakey cookies...(?) Thanks!
This is a great recipe, and my favorite part was when the egg yolk dropped on the counter. I laughed out loud because it was such a relate-able moment. Nice to know that other drop stuff in the kitchen, not just me.
These cookies are amazing, I even made them with key limes and a orange and clementine one. I rolled mine in corse white sanding sugar and fine gold sugar for a crunch…..❤️❤️❤️❤️ You helped this special education/ mama make make amazing cookies for the holidays THANK YOU 🙏🏻
My first try was perfect with a real cookie shape but my second time they didn’t flat like a cookie they stay like a ball shape. Was it bc maybe I over beaten the mixter
I'm an architecture student and can i just say i absolutely love your kitchen! the brass detailing is everything! Also ive tried your brownie recipe and they turned out so nice and decedent. Absolutely loved them. Next up: lemon cookies!
I just made these cookies here in the UK and made them gluten free and lactose free by substituting the flour for Doves FREEE plain flour plus a teaspoon of xanthan gum and substituted the butter for Flora Plant butter. They baked up really well and are absolutely delicious (even without the lemon extract which I didn't have)
I made them and they are delicious!! Only changed the frosting. I ran out of powdered shugar so i melted white chocolate with a little bit of fresh lemon juice and it is bomb!
Haha you are to cute. I liked your video lil mishaps and all! : ) Ok so you made my mouth water I could imagine the Tang!! Yum. I decided to make your recipe! Woo I'll let you know how I did. It may be quarantine time but it can be Tasty for my loved one! Thank you! Stay Safe😷
John, you are absolutely adorable!! We would be best friends, I just know it!! Thank you for this fresh, yummy looking lemon cookies!! Now I've got to go buy some lemons 🍋 🍋 🍋
My granddaughter loves lemon so lemon cookies are her favorite (and these are her new favorite lemon cookies) . Also the written recipe calls for a teaspoon of lemon flavor and during the tutorial you say 1 tablespoon so I split the difference and added 1/2 tablespoon.Thanks John I recently purchased your book looking forward to making the chocolate peppermint cake for the holiday.
I made these cookies...WOW they are the most delish cookies I have EVER tasted! And sooo easy! I was amazed at how the balls became cookie shaped... Thanks so much for sharing this with us. Much love from South Africa xoxox
If anyone is willing or needing this, God is so good, I pray if you haven't made Him your Lord and Saviour you choose to do that today. Romans 10:9 says "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Stay in repentance, we all are sinners the difference is there are sinners then there is saved sinners. God loves all and is waiting for His children to turn back to Him but time is coming to an end. God bless you all, grace, peace and love of the Lord be with you ❤
@@PreppyKitchenOh thank goodness! I was watching from my phone and wasn't sure if it was one of those things my fever addled brain missed (like when you said add salt in the shortbread cookie video but I didn't know I was supposed to until after my brick was done and you said how important it was not to forget the salt) or if I misheard the original number! BTW: Don't blame you! That lemon batter was so delicious I was half tempted to run from the kitchen screaming, "Mine! All mine!"😈
Hey John. Love lemon 🍋 in everything too! You should try an Italian Ricotta Cookie recipe!! So de- licious and ah- mazing. I have a great recipe I would be happy to share... hope to hear from you soon. It’s really my all time FAVORITE cookie of all time. Oh yea, I already said that huh?
John, I Love Lemon it’s the Greek in Me ! You got that right 👍 John, since Easter is coming up, can you make some Koulourakia ? Would Love to see your family recipe 🙏🏼
Yesterday i made his lemon cake ... it got finished in a snap... so today i made some lemon cupcakes with his recipe....i loved it.... and wanna make this cookies tooo😋
I love you, you have such a great energy and your instructions are always clear. Everything that I've done fallowing your steps was just perfect. Thank you! 💛
Tried this recipe today, and trust me they turned out really well. I am absolutely delighted with the outcome. Simply follow the exact proportions mentioned in the video. Thank you so much John for this wonderful recipe. 😊
This recipe was so delicious! The glaze finished it perfectly in terms of lemon flavor strength. This absolutely hit the spot as I was craving lemon cookies. I beat in my egg and lemon juice until fluffy and these turned out pillowy, and the brown sugar added the perfect amount of caramel after notes. Thank you so much for this recipe, from my family to yours!
I love lemon anything. Made these & dipped each cookie. Then let glaze set & colored remaining glaze with a bit of yellow coloring, added a little more sugar to make the paste thicker, then drizzled yellow bands across each glazed cookie. Yummm!
My Mom will love these!!I have been gluten,sugar,soy,nut,bean,FREE for 13years now,but I do bake for my family,I've made many of your recipes,they are always a hit..cookies I make consist of gluten free slow cook oats,very very ripe bananas,cinnamon,vanilla,dried cranberries,raisins,and are delish,
Always enjoy your videos John. I imagine that glaze could be used for almond cookies too. I'd just put a 1/2 t. of almond extract, or so, in the powdered sugar and also maybe a drop or two of food coloring just for some pizzazz. Thanks. Keep "wisk, wisk, wisking."
