Lemon Cream Crinkle Cookies are one of my favorites. But then I only bake what I love, so…. they are all my favorites! As promised, here is my tried and tested recipe for them, which I hope you will enjoy.

THE STORY
As it turns out, Lemon Crinkle Cookies have been around a loooooong time. And yet, despite having lived in the United States for over 20 years, having traveled here for about as many before that, and having many, many, many foodie friends, I only discovered them about a year and a half ago.
My friend Sally and I had treated ourselves to an outing + lunch at a lovely nursery called High-Hand Nursery in Loomis, here in the California Gold Country. That’s a favorite and absolutely recommended, by the way. If you like, you can see my piece about Folsom with this and other recommendations in the area.
After we ordered our lunch, I headed to the restroom. On my way, I passed through a little pantry shop they have, and that is where my eyes were drawn to a little display with freshly baked cookies, among which were large lemon crinkle ones. Of course I bought some and, after lunch, we opened the bag and tried them. Soooo good!
I kept thinking about them all the way home and knew I would have to either find the recipe, or create one from scratch. In the end, I ended up doing both.
When I first looked around for recipes, I found there was no shortage of them. It seemed that, all of a sudden, these cookies had become popular again. I picked one that sounded good and – as always when I try a new recipe – I tested it without modifications.
I was not happy with the results, not at all. That is when I started from scratch. Several tests later, I was finally satisfied and had the recipe that I am sharing with you.
