These Lemon Crinkle Cookies are just as beautiful as they are delicious! They are soft, fluffy, and bursting with fresh lemon flavor. And if you love chocolate crinkles, you are going to go gaga for these lemon crinkles. Simple. Sweet. Lemony. For extra lemon flavor, I use lemon two ways: lemon juice and lemon zest. These cookies would be great as easy homemade holiday food gifts or to bake up over the weekend and eat.

These crowd-pleasing cookies are a breeze to make, and you probably have most of the ingredients in your kitchen. So, when the mood strikes for cookies, give this recipe a go. To make these cookies, cream butter and sugar and then whip in all wet ingredients. Next, stir in dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Chill the dough, and then roll it into balls and coat in powdered sugar. Bake and enjoy!
