Easy Lemon Crinkle Cookies Recipe 

A dear friend for whom I make lemon pies on a regular basis just went to the nursing home this week and has no fridge access ..I hope this will help her get her "lemon fix" and brighten the transition. Your recipes always seem to arrive at JUST the right time! Thanks for what you do to make the world a better place!

white sugar - 1 cup zest of lemons - 2 salt - 1/2 tsp lemon juice - 1/4 cup 2 room temp eggs unsalted, melted butter - 1/2 cup vanilla extract - 1/2 tsp flour - 2 & 1/3 cups baking soda - 1/2 tsp Combine

If you roll the cookies in granulated sugar first, then roll them in the powdered sugar, the powdered sugar won't dissolve (as much). The granulated sugar acts as a barrier that protects the powdered sugar from being absorbed by the wet cookie dough.

You have to roll them in granulated sugar first, then powdered sugar for the best crinkle effect. 🍋

Gosh… in the past week, I made your coconut cupcakes, chocolate chip muffins, and banana chocolate chip muffins, all to the delight of family and friends. I was ready for a new cookie recipe and this fits the bill! Thanks, John - can’t wait to receive your cookbook!!

I’m also a “lemonaholic” lol so loved making these with my husband! Unfortunately ours didn’t come out as yellow but still amazing cookies! Gotta try your lemon bars next! Thanks for these delicious recipes, John!

I love love lOVE that you give grams and cups/tbsp at the same time.

Omg !!! 200g of sugar for 280g of flour???? That's insane 🤯🤯🤯 why is everything so sugary? 😭

Who came here after playin Papa's Scooperia? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Just made these lemon delights: they do not disappoint! I scaled the online recipe to make 48, but they yielded about 100 since I made them about a tablespoon each. 16 to a sheet to cook. Pillowed perfectly. Don't overdo when rolling; think this is why other bakers cookies are flat Lightly roll 8-10 times just enough to achieve spheres. Also left all 16 spheres in sugar then when transferring to sheet, rerolled and HEAPED each with sugar. Perfect crinkles! I cooled my trays in the freezer for about 6 minutes between batches and the unused dough in fridge Used zest from 2.5 fair sized lemons. Next time will use 3. I think working the zest into the sugar is the game changer for this cookie as you counsel John. Bravo!

Oh my god.. They are PERFECT!! And I didn't even leave them in the fridge for 4 hours... I put them in the freezer for an hour, cause I can't wait!! But oh my.. They are PERFECT!! ❤❤

I made this cookie for my Granddaughters girl scout cookie exchange. I used almond flour for a gluten free treat...and they were a huge hit with everyone

Thank you! The lemon tree on my front yard is producing such a ridiculous amount of lemons, I have been looking for a recipe like this 😍

Thank you! It's so refreshing to finally see this recipe made from scratch and not a cake mix shortcut. Can't wait to try it out!

not successful there is a problem with the temperature it's not the right one

I'm in culinary school right now I will be doing the pastry side next semester I can't wait to show what I have learned from you. I love to bake but im pretty basic. Since i have been watching your videos my skills have been leveling up.🥰

Crying b/c you didn't scrape the sides of the bowl.........😥😥😥😥😥😥😥

I love lemon flavored desserts!! They look delicious 😋! Definitely going to try it, thank you for the recipe John

Made these! Fudgy and delicious! Next time I'd definitely add more lemon zest and juice cause I like a bit more of a kick, and reduce the flour a little.

I followed your recipe exactly but the dough was way more wet than yours and they spread really wide on the baking sheet so they basically became one giant cookie... dont know what i did wrong

Just finished baking these delicious cookies!!!!! The lemon favor hits at the end fabulous

350 f° son 180 c° 👍🏻🍪🔥

Lemon crinkle cookies are delicious. I made them before, and this recipe makes me want to make them again John! Looks amazing! 🍋 😋

Awesome as always! I read on a site on dessert trays you need an odd number of types of treats--one chocolate, one citrus, and one spice, plus maybe vanilla and stone fruit or whatever. A few suggestions for your next videos: Sour cream chocolate cake/cupcakes with chocolate sour cream frosting Hermit bars (gingerbread brownie things) Thank you😍

John, you saved me yesterday!!! Your buttercream frosting was the perfect amount I needed to finish up the cake without using Pasteurized Egg Whites (like "Sugar Geek Show Liz Merek's recipe) Her recipe is nice but I ran out of egg whites.....and there you were with your simple recipe....so....THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!

these were a hit! Made the choc and lemon crinkles now Im going to add orange zest and make Orange Crinkle cookies! Thank you!

I made these tonight and they are completely splendid. Thank you for an excellent recipe. All good wishes from England.

Hi John! I love this recipe so much!! I made them before and my family went crazy over them. I’m making them again today for my husband who has an addiction to cookies!! 😂 He will be surprised to find these! Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤

1 cup sugar Lemon zest Half teaspoon salt Mix 2 eggs 1/2 cup butter 1/4 cup lemon juice Vanilla 2 1/3 cups flour 1/2 tsp baking soda

Oh John, I really love this recipe so much, but for some reason I measured the flour in cups and it was too dry which led me to mix the batter more to make the flour disappear. Probably the gluten was activated because I really had to mix a lot :') I had to throw that batch away after it came out of the oven with an unwanted result xD Then I baked the recipe again, but followed the grams weight on the scale and it worked just perfect as desired! :D Very delisious and totally worth it. Thanks again and now my new bf will be happy when he comes to visit me today and try my delisious Preppy Kitchen's cookies

Dear John ! Let me express my delight about your receipt. Actually as a result, i am very excited after my own experience. Thanks a lot,! Cukies was born really perfect ,!

I love watching your videos, seriously you are a good teacher. Is very easy to learn with you and the cookies is looking yummy. Nice one

These look amazing! John do you have a recipe for a Hershey chocolate pie? It was my grandfather's favorite pie and I want to learn how to make it for his celebration of life party.

لماذا لايلتصق السكر البودرة في العجينة قبل الذهاب بها إلى الفرن

Came for the recipe, staying for the excited puppy of a man. You’ve got such a good teaching voice/character

Do u have coconut cookie recipe

Can I use almond flour in place of the AP flour? i have family members who need gluten free foods. Thanks.

Wow 😳 thank you so much my friend 😊 jocina

Made these cookies 1 day ago and now I'm eating these. turned out so DELICIOUS!!😋 thank you for posting the recipe ❤

It’s 4 o’clock in the morning here and now I am so hungry for these cookies! If I had a lemon or two in the house I would be starting them right now

My daughter (a true lemon lover) wants me to make these before she’s off to college! 😄

YES YES YES!!! More lemon recipe! Thank you. I love lemon!!

Ich liebe es auch, Zitronenkekse zu backen! Sie erinnern mich immer an den Sommer. Vielen Dank für das Rezept! 🍋🌞🍪"

Omg. I make these all the time. They taste like a soft version of the lemon girl scout cookie. Love it!

My first time baking ever. It was a success. Thank you for the wonderful video. Cheers.

Looks delicious! I'm going to test it with lime because it's very difficult and expensive to find lemon in Brazil.

OMG can you imagine a rainbow platter of crinkle cookies?

WHY have I never seen a lemon crinkle cookie before??? Must make!

Very nice cookie recipie John! They looks amazig! Have a nice day and good weekend! Have a good week! 👍👏🍴

I love Lemon, I can't wait to make these delicious cookies Thank you for the recipe....

We want to translate RU-vid videos into Arabic????????👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

These are the best lemon crinkle cookies I have tried, and I've tried a few recipes. They're soft and very lemony. Amazing! Thanks.

I made this recipe last week. My reactions: 1) it's excellent (I thought so) 2) It made 18 cookies (which lasted one day for my family of four) 3) my youngest daughter ddn't think it was sweet enough (I did).

I could not believe what a difference rubbing lemon zest into sugar makes!

I bake weekly for my mom and the other residents in a small skilled facility. This will be a great addition! Thank you for all the great recipes!

Can I not coat the dough with powered sugar?

I have to wonder when mixing baking soda into lemon juice, how much of the reaction happens immediately, and where do the byproducts go? Does the CO2 gas stay dissolved in the batter until it is baked? Given there is probably more than enough acid to react all of the baking soda, I’d doubt any would remain behind in the oven to convert to Sodium Carbonate (giving off CO2 as well). Anyone know?

Mums! 😍 Så gott det ser ut😊 Hälsningar från Sverige

Oh Man! Your recipes are like the best of my mom's 1950-80 special treats we all loved. I am really getting recipes for things like chocolate crinkle cookies. Now I see you have a recipe for lemon crinckle...amazing. I can't wait to try those.

These are heavenly. Mine came out quite pale despite RED egg yolks. Next time maybe a drop of yellow food coloring

Hi , thank you so much for the grams measures🥰

omg why is this channel called preppy kitchen? do they cook with male milk?

Oh, my mouth is watering! I love lemon cookies! These look so good, I will have to make some for our family gathering on Sunday. 🤗

Looks yummy John They would be a great spring dessert after a nice meal of steak (chicken or fish) and salad some spring asparagus and garlic dill potatoes I always had a bowl of lemons in my kitchen Eek melts marble 😳

these are DELICIOUS! Mine didn't crinkle enough because the dough sucks the powder sugar in very fast, and I was too lazy for round two - but that didn't stop me from inhaling these 😄easier than lemon bars and satisfies that lemon craving nicely

Already made it. Waiting for 4 hours to bake them! Always at the right time :) and it is after we ate blueberry scones ( they were a-mazing!) THanks a lot

John, John, John!!! These look amazingly great!! There is NOTHING like a good lemon cookie. Yes, you were right; it is Tur-Mur-Ick. I LOVE Lemon EVERYTHING too. Thanks again for the BEST baking channel on YT! Hope the hubby and boys are doing great. 💛💛Richard and Bruce

John your kitchen looks more expensive than my hole house, but my cookies looks like yours jajaja. Greetings from México! And many thanks!

These look amazing - I love lemon! I had an idea when I was watching this, probably because I just watched your Strawberry Lemonade cake video that just came out. I wonder how these would taste rolled in some freeze dried strawberry powder and THEN into the powdered sugar?? It might change the color but I might have to give that a go!

Thanks for the recipe looks delicious, I will try to bake some 😋🙏💞🍪

I also like lemon everything😊 My alltime favorite taste! Finally, someone understans me🎉😊

if you using baking powder and an acid then letting it rest over night. havn't you killed off the any potential for the levening to occur because the chemical reaction has finished taking place? aren't you just getting the levening from the egg by resting it over night?

My Mom LOVES anything lemon!!! You made this look so easy! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe and time! I appreciate you! We've owned a family bakery/cake shop for over 50 years. I had to close because of my health. But I just have to tell you that these beautiful lemon cookies are a dream! So simple yet so delicious! I can't wait to try them for my Mom! I know she will love them! ❤🍽

Hey John! I’m a new fan of your videos. I started watching you when I was bored and searched up food vids. Your r amazing! Definitely make those cookies! I love lemon zestttt!

OMG! I just stumbled upon this recipe while skimming through this channel for something to try. These cookies are amazing. The powdered sugar adds a beautiful taste. I used a small glass cake dish and let the rolls cookies set in the ordered sugar. Until they were all rolled.

I would love to see a fall inspired dessert 💗

I've never had crinkle cookies or lemon cookies. They trigger my trypophobia though for some reason so it's hard to look at. I bet they taste really good! Thanks for being entertaining. I love watching you!

Of our Christmas cookie options these are the cutest EVER!!!!!!

I wonder who inspired whom? Down under the US or the other way round? Either way, those cookies are soooo good :-D

Ohhh Yess..I’ve been looking for a good and great Lemon Cookie and this is it.. I’m going to make these …ASAP‼️‼️‼️💯💯💯🍪🍪🍪💛😊

I just made the cookies and they are delicious 🤩 I’m not much of a baker, but following your recipes will make me one 😂

I've just finished making these & they are truly fabulous!! Light, fluffy & lemony. I'll definitely be making them on a regular basis. Thank you so much 💛🍋

Love lemon 🍋 looks amazing

برافو شاف ممكن تعوض دقيق بالكوك و سميد راءعة جدا 👍

Thanks John! Your chocolate crinkles are awesome and were part of my Xmas baking gifts! Trying these now.

Çok güzel ve leziz duruyorlar elinize emeğinize sağlık sevgiler Türkiye Manisa❤

It’s worth every single minute spent in the kitchen baking your cakes. You are amazing. Thank you so much

I believe the correct pronounciation is TURM er ick.... but I always say TERmor ick Sigh.

Looks very yummy 💕👍🏻

If you roll the cookies in granulated sugar FIRST and then the powdered sugar they will crinkle better! And the powdered sugar will look more like crinkles than pieces of broken glass. Try it!

Can I reduce the amount of sugar?

😢 I left the dough overnight and it melted on the baking tray, I don't know what I'm doing wrong

Oh my, I've been craving your lemon cookies!! I read the recipe just a few days ago and I was like "Definitely gonna try this, I just hope John posts a video of it so we make it together" hehe. Cheers, John! Your content is much appreciated!

Hes like the nice teacher that everyone Likes

....going to be "that" person: the first part, rubbing the sugar with the lemon, is surely exfoliating your [clean] hands. I think using some sort of kitchen tool to mash and mix it up would be more hygienic.. 🤷🏼‍♀️

when using gluten free flour, is there same issue? you say "you don't want to overwork the dough and activate gluten" - gf flour will have some substitutes for gluten, like xantan and/or guar gum, and maybe some other starches... do those get activated and cause problems?

My Mom says it the same way yours does but I say it the other way 😂 I really don't think there's a wrong way. Thank you for another great recipe ! I just made your lemon bars for the second time and everyone loved them !!!

looks so delicious as usual john!!

Turmeric turned my cookies red in splotches. It’s an acid/base indicator, where there was baking soda pinky streaks. FYI!
