    Lemon Cookies

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This lemon cookies recipe are on loan from a friend. At their house they call them crack cookies. is that too harsh of a thing to say here? They call them this because they are so good they are severely addicting. Just the glaze itself you could bathe in. no joke.

    How to make healthy lemon cookies

    If you want to make a little healthier option with these cookies try substituting the oil for greek yogurt! I've noted the measurements down in the recipe card. You honestly can't taste the difference! They're nice and fluffy!

    The base is a lemon cake mix! this makes making these cookies so easy!

    The dough is really sticky. So you can do two options

    1. You can scoop and ploop (which makes for a rough cookie)
    2. You can roll them to cute sugars. This is pictured below. Using powder sugar powder your hands before you grab the dough. roll and evenly place on a cookie sheet.

    I love using these parchment sheet for the cookies!

    Bake the cookies and rest on a cooling rack. These cookies are a little delicate you don't want them to overcook.

    How to make the Lemon Glaze

    The glaze is my favorite part. I could legit drink the entire bowl.

    Mix the water, oil, powder sugar, and all the lemon goodness.

    Do NOT leave out the oil on this part. The oil is what helps the glaze to have a nice soft crisp shell.

    Use a spoon or drizzle it on with a frosting bag. How ever you do it, just be generous. VERY generous.

      These look so easy. I'm a big fan of mostly homemade. When you say lemon cake mix, do you mean any brand that I can buy at the grocery store?

      Crack cookies! Ha! That's pretty funny, and definitely not too harsh. It sure conveys the idea of how good these cookies must be. I adore lemon cookies, so these are right up my alley. I hope your 2015 is shaping up to be the best year yet for you. These cookies look like a fab start to me.
