Zesty Treat: Lemon Crumbl Cookie Recipe

Views: 4

Indulge in the homemade bliss of these irresistible Lemon Crumbl Cookies. They offer a zesty twist on a classic treat. This recipe beats the famous Crumbl Lemon Crinkle Cookies, adding intense flavor to every bite.

These cookies stand out because they’re made with fresh lemon juice and zest. This infuses them with a bold lemon taste. Rolling them in granulated sugar, then in powdered sugar, creates their unique crinkle look. They’re not just tasty but also a feast for the eyes.

The key to their perfection is in the baking. It’s essential to avoid overbaking to achieve the right texture. Take them out when the edges are just right, and the middle is perfectly soft. You’ll enjoy a delightful crunch on the outside with a soft center.

Using fresh lemons brings out a bright, strong lemon flavor. When you zest the lemons, make sure to get only the zest, without too much pulp. This will give you that sharp, tangy taste.

You can make the dough beforehand and keep it in the fridge for up to a day. After that, just roll it into balls and bake. Leftover cookies stay fresh in an airtight container for 4 days at room temp, or in the fridge for up to 6 days. You can even freeze them if you want to save some for later.
