Lemon Crinkle Cookies

My family loves cookies. It’s not too often that I don’t have cookies in the freezer waiting to be eaten. Mike likes to take them for his lunch and Adam, well he just likes to eat them whenever. Even the older kids when they come home to visit will ask me if there are any cookies.

But I feel sometimes I get in a rut when it comes to baking them, I make the same cookies over and over again. This past weekend I decided to break out of my rut and try something new. I found a lemon crinkle cookie that I knew that everyone would enjoy and I actually baked a couple of batches so that I could put some in the freezer for later.

They are perfect for the summer and have a nice crumbly texture to them that I love; with just the right amount of lemon flavor. Also they freeze very well. In fact I was informed they were delicious right out of the freezer, no need to let them thaw out.

    I love to bake with lemon – I need to try this recipe at my mom’s in Holidays – the boys love to peek into the jar to seek for cookies 🙂
