Imagine if a snickerdoodle cookie combined with a lemon. That's what these soft and chewy Lemon Crinkle Cookies taste like! The perfect flavor combination!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup light corn syrup
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup lemon zest (about 2-3 lemons)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (for rolling the cookies)
- 1 cup Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat together until fluffy. Add in the egg and beat until smooth. Add in the corn syrup and beat until well combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until combined. Stir in the lemon zest.
- Using a medium cookie scoop (or about 2 Tablespoons), roll the cookie dough into a ball. Place the granulated sugar into a bowl. Roll the dough into the sugar. Place on the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 7 to 8 minutes until the edges are firm. Allow to cool on the pan for 2 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack. Cool completely.
- Melt white chocolate according to package directions. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cooled cookie and return to parchment paper. Allow to set.
Notes
- Store. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze until desired.
- Use a medium sized cookie scoop. Mine holds 2 tablespoons of dough to ensure evenly sized cookies.
- Roll in sugar. After scooping the cookie dough into balls, give each one a quick roll in granulated sugar.
- Freeze dough. Use our tips to freeze cookie dough if you don't want to bake all the cookies immediately.
- Let cool completely. Adding warm chocolate to a warm cookie is a recipe for disaster. Wait until the lemon crinkle cookies are fully cooled. Then slowly drizzle the melted white chocolate on top.
