Lemon Crinkle Cookies Recipe (2024)

You wake up one morning and make yourself a cup of coffee while thinking everything is going to go very smooth today. Your laundry is caught up, the dishes are done, you checked the calendar and everything is on track for anice normal day.

You take a moment to pat yourself on the back for being so organized and then it hits you! You remember you promised to make cookies for a friends birthday and they need to be deliveredby noon! YIKES! No time to panic! You need to do something now! Why not make some simple delicious lemon crinkle cookies? You can have them done before you finish that first cup of coffee!
I bet you have the stuff to make them in your kitchen right now. All you need is a box of lemon cake mix (you should always keep at least one box of lemon cake mix in your cabinet in case of emergencies like this one), an egg and an 8 ounce container of cool-whip. Before you know it you can make a batch of the best lemon crinkle cookies you have ever tasted!

Lemon Crinkle Cookies:

• Preheat oven to 350° while you prepare the cookie batter.

• Begin by placing the lemon cake mix, egg and cool-whip in a bowl.

• Mix it with a fork or spoon until well blended. Be careful not to over mix.

• I like to freeze the cookies for about 2-3 minutes before I roll them in the powdered sugar. It doesn’t take very long because all you want to do is freeze them slightly so the dough doesn’t stick to your fingers.

• I broke my cookie scoop the other day so I had to get creative. I used a tablespoon to scoop out cookies and it worked out pretty well. You just need to use a spoon or a small spatula (or your finger) to help remove the dough. It was quite interesting and it worked but I plan on replacing my cookie scoop soon.

• After you freeze the cookie dough for a few minutes remove them from the freezer and roll each one of them in the powdered sugar. Make sure they are coated well. Place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat.

• Bake in a 350° oven for 8-10 minutes.

I absolutely love the way the cookies look once they are baked. The powdered sugar is cracked open and you can see the gorgeous yellow cookie that is bursting with awesome lemon goodness. My mouth is watering just thinking about them!

   I LOVE lemon anything! This is a very “dangerous” recipe as it is so simple and uses only four ingredients!!! :O)
