You'll adore these cookies if you enjoy lemon. They are chewy and soft, with a strong lemon flavour. These simple lemon cookies are soft and dense rather than cakey, thick enough to sink your teeth into, and the best part is that they are crinkly. You can use lemon in three different ways: as juice, as zest, or as an extract for a strong flavour. Glaze them and add zest to increase that, if you like. Despite having a strong lemon flavour that is present in plenty, the cookies are sweet enough to keep you coming back for more. And yet another It's a good thing the recipe only yields 12 servings.
