It is officially springtime, for now anyways haha! Two weeks ago it was snowing and last week it hit in the high 70s if no the 80s. It was wonderful. School is wrapping up and summer break is right around the corner. My family is getting SO excited!

Warmer weather makes me crave lemon. To be honest, I used to hate lemon desserts. Partially because I never tried them because the chocolate ones always appealed to me more. Once I created these Best Ever Lemon Cookies and this Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake, I have been fully converted to the lemon side of desserts.

These Lemon Crinkle Cookies are spectacular! They are soft, sweet, light and refreshing all at the same time. Everyone went crazy over them! If you are looking for that perfect spring time treat…. or a treat for anytime really… give these a go! They are going to become a new favorite!

    I’ve made this recipe three times. The first time the cookies were perfect. Using the same ingredients the last two batches were flat and I had to toss. This dough is very sticky even after leaving it in the frig for a day before baking.
