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!

[@PreppyKitchen]

How lovely of you to do that for them! I hope your friend enjoys the cookies!!

[@joniangelsrreal6262]

Agreed… just on time…

[@jillthetree9173]

This is the most lovely post. best wishes !

[@paigedevine5586]

A simple lemon slice is always a lemon lover crowd pleaser. Crushed biscuits, butter, lemon juice and zest. Make a layer and let it freeze for two hours. Then make a powdered sugar, lemon juice and zest paste layer onto and back to freeze for two hours. Take out and cut, delicious 😋 you can also top it with shredded coconut.

[@musicroom7185]

@@paigedevine5586 Thanks for the idea!

[@patrick-srq]

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.

[@halimawaley]

Thank you for your advice.

[@diffy9036]

Good advice, but the cookies are already sweet enough unless you care about how they will look like at the end. I always find John's baking recipes sweet. It's also most of my friends and family feedback after I bake something for them. :') To add, John says roll the balls a second time later before tossing them in the oven ;)

[@arj-peace]

Great suggestion! Granulated sugar and lemon go so well together anyway. I'll try this!

[@iamyours2000]

​@@diffy9036 I rolled them twice and the still aborned it.

[@OkeOkeee-wr1qz]

I just want to ask this question😅 big thanks💝

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

[@1cpamom-]

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!

[@bananoxaloni]

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!! ❤❤

[@lindenanderson6542]

Thank you for putting them in the freezer and posting it. I've been looking in the comments for this

[@bananoxaloni]

@@lindenanderson6542 I tried it both ways, it has the same result.. I prefer the freezer 😉😉 less time 🤣

[@lindenanderson6542]

@bananoxaloni I'm a baker at a Cafe that just opened, so time is always super important and I was hesitant to put the in thr freezer, I didn't want them to freeze or not bake right in the oven. So far they're a huge hit and takes way less time

[@bananoxaloni]

@@lindenanderson6542 they are so tasty, no wonder they are a hit!! Try them in the freezer...it will save you a lot of time, I bake at home for the family, but I'm very impatient and i wasn't gonna wait all this time to taste them 😂😂

[@lindenanderson6542]

@bananoxaloni I had them in the freezers to speed up time. Growing up my grandma would leave in the fridge overnight but a lot of my doughs already take up the fridge space. I had to dig for your comment but it was all the reassurance I needed to know it would work. The waiting is the worst part

[@WendyS1822]

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!!

[@joniangelsrreal6262]

Agreed… one of the best chef on KZbin

[@Hannah-ng5qs]

[@sohard2sea872]

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

[@TheDukeOfReuben]

Would you happen to have any idea how well a 1:1 gluten free flour would work in this recipe?

[@ohiokat2135]

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!

[@williamwoods8765]

Hello there

[@docmckennedi7872]

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.🥰

[@ssaraoco]

hope school is going well for you!!

[@vanessaangel7148]

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!

[@xingyushe9718]

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 😍

[@lindakochis5476]

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

[@maureensurdez7841]

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.

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!

Hello Diane

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

[@Ahbleza2007]

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

[@GT0026]

Ditto, plus I will add a little Grand Marnier to it... 😉

[@Whitechai]

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.

[@oneitalia2312]

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!!!!!!!

[@igorg4275]

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 ,!

[@susanowen1709]

So many tips and bits of info! Rub the zest into the sugar. Cocoa can be used as the acid to activate baking soda. Sugar your hands before rolling dough in them to keep down the mess. And the cookies look delicious!!

[@jenpink4298]

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

[@eleabolar]

Good luck to her!!

[@anjamilovanovic9134]

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

[@bronhilaksesedise]

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.

[@deniseharrell1591]

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😍

[@marybethknapp9734]

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.

[@asugarholicslife]

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!

Thanks for the great recipe, John! Вероятно, это печенье станет моим любимым, ведь я тоже lemonaholic) Великолепный рецепт - печенье хрустящее снаружи, и воздушное внутри. У меня данное количество теста поместилось на 2 противня 30х40 см, по 12 печенюшек, шарики катала по 3,5 - 4 см в диаметре. Пудры ушло грамм 50. Готовила в прогретой заранее духовке, режим верх-низ, на средней полке, 220 градусов, 15 минут.

[@Alfheim.Haven.]

I recommend to cover them with egg white befor the sugar, in Morocco we do like that because it's a Moroccan recipe, and it has a large variety of flavours

[@terry94131]

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

[@lindarowell8599]

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 💛🍋

[@lindacope7344]

Thank you so much for another yummy lemon recipe. Also to answer your question on pronunciation. It was pointed out to me by a very outspoken colleague years ago, that the correct pronunciation is turmeric., although I hardly ever hear someone say that, and if they do say it incorrectly I let it slide because in the realm of things that's just not that important. I also find the feeling of rubbing sugar and lemon zest together to be very soothing and relaxing.

[@donnapollock]

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

[@diffy9036]

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

[@RMCToo]

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
