These one-bowl, no-mixer, lemon sugar cookies have a melt-in-your-mouth texture, lots of crinkly cracks, super-crisp, sugar-coated exteriors and moist, chewy insides! There's also a burst of sunshiny lemon flavor with every bite!
Oh my goodness, if you enjoy the bright sunny flavor of lemon and you don't mind incredibly delicious cookies with a crisp melt-in-your-mouth texture, you're going to LOVE these Crinkly Crackly Lemon Sugar Cookies! Pair that with a super easy recipe that requires just one bowl, no mixer and calls for ingredients you most likely have right now in your pantry, and you've got a WINNER!
It seems that recipes that feature lemons are fashionable and popular all year long, unlike many other seasonal ingredients. Although lemons are generally harvested in the winter months, I love that they're readily available any time of year.
Butter and oil
The first time I ever made a cookie recipe that called for both butter and oil, I was a little skeptical. It was actually 40 years ago (the original version of this recipe), WAY before I got the crazy idea of starting a food blog. I had been gifted a plate of cookies from an older woman and loved them so much, I requested the recipe.
But, as I said, when I saw that it called for butter AND oil, I thought perhaps there had been a mistake. I went ahead and tried it though and... WOW, they were so good! Since then I've found a few other cookie recipes that call for both ingredients and each one has resulted in incredibly delicious cookies with a super light (haha, not in calories), tender texture, crisp exteriors and nice chewy insides. I've become a believer!
Testimonies
Speaking of a huge hit, we shared little gift bags full of these Lemon Sugar Cookies with some neighbors. One of them called that evening, after discovering them in the mailbox, and reported that they were the best cookies he had ever tasted. He said:
"These are amazing, my search is done for the perfect cookie!"
Another recipient texted:
Woah! So delicious! Thanks so much! Nicole (his wife) is not eating sugar in January so they're all mine!
Gift them away (or not)!
I think you'll have the same response when you taste or share these Lemon Sugar Cookies. Everyone who's tried them has loved them. They make such a lovely gift that we've created a pretty label to add to your plates, bags or boxes of gift cookies.

I've got grandkids coming to spend the afternoon so I'm going to run. I just made another batch of these delicious cookies to share with them. What's a visit to Gigi's (that's me) house without some yummy cookies, right?
Make a batch soon! Hide a few for yourself as I'm pretty sure yours will disappear as quickly as mine will today... faster than you or I can say Crinkly Crackly Lemon Sugar Cookies!
Café Tips for making these Crinkly Crackly Lemon Sugar Cookies
- You'll need a microwave-safe bowl to make the dough for this recipe. What is a microwave-safe bowl? It's a bowl made from glass or material that won't melt, get too hot, cause damage to the microwave or release chemicals when exposed to microwave rays. If you look at the bottom of a bowl, it should say "microwave-safe" or have the microwave symbol.
- I love this large microwave-sage measuring bowl with a handle that never gets hot, no matter how long you're cooking something in the microwave. This one is particularly nice because it comes with a lid.
- This recipe calls for cream of tartar. It's part of what makes the crinkles and crackles in these cookies. We recently shared another delicious recipe for these Snickerdoodle Scones that calls for cream of tartar. It's not a super common ingredient but it's one that is super easy to find in the spice section of just about any grocery store. Don't worry about buying it and it going bad as cream of tartar has a shelf life of at 5 years unless it's been left open and exposed to moisture.
- When making one-bowl, no-mixer cookies, I like to start with a whisk. A good whisk will last forever and is an indispensable kitchen tool. Once everything except the flour has been whisked together, I switch to a sturdy spatula to mix in the flour. I love these silicone spatulas with wooden handles and use them ALL the time. Mine have been through the dishwasher a zillion times and still look like new.
- Another wonderful tool to have when making cookies is a retractable cookie scoop. I use a two-tablespoon scoop for the medium-large cookies pictured in the post. A scoop like this makes portioning out cookie dough super easy and produces consistent-sized cookies.
- These cookies are rolled into balls before baking and then rolled in sugar. You can use regular granulated sugar,
- These cookies have a nice burst of lemon flavor. If you want a more intense lemon taste, add 1 teaspoon of lemon extract along with the vanilla extract.
- I use salted butter for these Lemon Sugar Cookies. In fact, in contrast to conventional baking wisdom, I use salted butter for all of my baking. I know that most baking recipes call for unsalted butter but I agree with Christopher Kimbal, the founder of both Cook's Illustrated and, more recently, Milk Street. You can read his thoughts on it in this article.
- If you like cookies with soft interiors, don't bake these cookies too long. Remove them from the oven when they're light golden brown. If you bake them longer, they will still be delicious but will be crisp all the way through.
- The flour measurement for these Lemon Sugar Cookies is 2 cups plus 3 tablespoons which might seem a little odd. When testing these cookies, I found that 2 cups was not enough but 2¼ cups was a little too much.
Thought for the day:
For God, who said,
"Let light shine out of darkness,"
has shone in our hearts
to give the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 4:6

Crinkly Crackly Lemon Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter, I use salted butter
- ½ cup neutral flavored oil, ie canola or grapeseed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- finely grated lemon zest from 2 large lemons
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups plus 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- sugar for rolling, You can use regular granulated sugar or a coarse sugar like sanding sugar or Turbinado sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Place butter in a medium size, microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high power for 40-50 seconds or until most of the butter is melted. Add the oil and sugar and whisk well to combine. Add the egg, vanilla and lemon zest and whisk again.
- Sprinkle the cream of tartar, baking powder, baking soda and salt over the butter mixture and whisk until well combined.
- Add the flour and mix just until all of the flour is incorporated. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Place ¼ cup of sugar in a small shallow bowl for rolling. Set aside.
- For consistent size cookies, use a retractable cookie scoop to portion out the dough into 2-3 tablespoon portions. Roll each portion into a ball in the palm of your hands then roll each ball in the sugar bowl to coat. Place the sugar coated balls on the cookie sheets, leaving 2 inches between.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes OR until cookies are a light golden brown. Don't overbake if you like soft chewy interiors. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool. Repeat baking for 2nd sheet. Store in an airtight container or freeze. Thaw before serving.

We have really enjoyed the results of the recipes I have made.
Thank you
So glad to hear that, Marilyn! We are happy to send the labels.
When I changed the recipe multiplier to make 48 cookies, all of the ingredients doubled EXCEPT the number of lemons from 2 to 4, the extra 3 tablespoons of flour from 3 to 6, and the 1/4 cup of sugar to 1/2 cup for rolling the cookies. I'm about to make these cookies now, doubling the amounts of these ingredients as well. I hope that's correct, and if so, that there is a way to change your multiplier.
Is there really no lemon juice in these cookies? Doesn't seem as if the zest alone would be enough.
Hi Anne, that is correct. The zest has lots of flavor.
Have ingredients lined up and ready to go. Would really appreciate the PDF for the labels and info on boxes and ribbon. Many thanks.

This sounds like the perfect recipe to try this gloomy rainy California day. May I have the labels, please?
Sure, DoLee!
I made these cookies today! They turned out just exactly like your pics!They had a subtle lemon flavor, with a teaspoon of lemon extract, as you suggested.. We loved them!
I am making a second bath to give away to two friends who absolutely go wild for the taste of lemon. I’m thinking of adding either lemon juice or lemon extract( I have both) for half of the vanilla,along with adding another teaspoon of juice or extract to keep the ratio correct. What do you advise?
Thanks for all you do! I feel like I have a chef on site as I make your recipies!
Aww, thanks, Gayann! I'm so happy these came out well for you.
Regarding your question, you could definitely double the lemon extract and keep the vanilla the same.
Hi Chris,

I am going to participate in a fundraiser for which I will be offering 6 gourmet cookies in exchange for a donation to the organization. So I’m researching which recipes I want to use. I’ve had this lemon cookie recipe filed away in Paprika for awhile, but never made it. Today I gave it a try, and it definitely made the cut to be one of my six special cookie offerings, the crisp/chewy ratio and tangy lemon flavor are just perfect. I added a little lemon oil to the sugar that I rolled the cookies in. It worked beautifully. Thank you so much for a great recipe.
Thanks for your review, Debbie! So glad you enjoyed these.
I so enjoy your recipes. Thank you for sharing with all of us! I'd love to have the labels for the Crinkly, Crackly Lemon Cookies. Again, Thank you.
Thanks, Connie! We will send the labels your way.
Woke up at 6am thinking, “I’m supposed to bring cookies to BSF!” Quickly scanned your ridiculously easy recipes & made these - arrived only 5 min late with a plate full of deliciousness that everyone loved! Thank you!
Haha! I love it! Thanks for taking the time to leave your review, Izzy!

Thank you so much for another outstanding recipe Chris! I baked these wonderful cookies today for my family. They are just deliciously over the top, I have been asked to bake more this week for my family members. You and your talented wife never disappoint!
So happy you enjoyed them, Sandy.
I just bought lemons yesterday! Can’t wait to try these lemon cookies. Please send the crinkly cookie labels. Thank you!
Sure, Marian!
It's sort of ridiculous that in 2023 that recipe ingredients are still being described by volume. "2 cups plus 3 tablespoons" of flour can be wildly imprecise. Give the weight, not volume; grams preferably. Or, at least, include the weights.
Hi Bear, thanks for your kind comment. Kindness does make the world a better place.
Regarding your comment, the majority of our readers are here in the US and use US Customary measurements that include cups, tablespoons, etc. However we are very aware that we have followers all over the world, so if you look at any of our recipes, right under the word "Instructions", there is an option to convert to Metric measurements.
Can't wait to try this crinkly crackly sugar cookie! If I want to decorate them, do you think I could leave the cream of Tarar out? Also please send your Free Printable Labels. Thank you so much!
Hi Sieglinde, I think if I was going to decorate cookies, I would go with a different recipe, like this one: https://thecafesucrefarine.com/lemon-glazed-french-sable-cookies/
Hi Chris, can't wait to make these lemon sugar cookies. Australian so always weigh ingredients, just wondering if the metric flour measurement is 266grams or 266g plus 3 tablespoons? Would love the labels please. Thanks for sharing, Judy
Hi Judy, I just put it through the conversion again and the 2 cups plus 3 tablespoons comes out to 273g. Not sure why it converted to 266 the first time. But I hope that helps. I have corrected that in the recipe.
Thanks for the recipe for the CRINKLY CRACKLY LEMON SUGAR COOKIES. They remind me of biscuits (cookies), yes, I am in Australia, that my grandmother used to make! I would love to have the labels for giving as gifts. Thank You! Thanks again for your 'Thought of the Day' and what you are listening to!!!
I'm so glad, Penelope! We will send the labels your way.

I’ve made these cookies more times now than I recall. My family loves lemon anything so the crinkles are top on their request list. I love putting them together so easily! Thanks so much. But I don’t think I ever requested the labels which will be so nice to share with friends so please send. . I don’t need them for my household because the cookies disappear too fast.
I'm so glad, Kathryn! We will send the labels.
I am looking forward to making these. They look yummy! Please send the label for these. Thank you!

These are just beyond delicious. I would love the label pdf. Thank you so much.
Thanks, Rose! We will send the labels!
I first made these 3 weeks ago, using a medium-sized cookie scoop (3 tbsp) and rolling them in regular sugar. They came out delicious, although not crackled. They were domed, crunchy outside and soft inside, just as promised. I froze half so we didn't inhale them in one night but they were out of the freezer within the week.
I made them again today, using a smaller scoop (1.5 tbsp) and rolling them in Demerara sugar, reducing the baking time a little as the cookies were smaller. They flattened more, still were not crackled but were amazing... again.
This is now my favourite cookie. I use lemon extract to give them a little more of that lemony goodness. These are light, sweet, lemony & very very satisfying.
I just love your recipes!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, Rondi! So glad you enjoyed these cookies. It's so hard to say why they didn't crackle without having been in the kitchen with you. Did you use the creme of tarter?
Well I made these yesterday and they are over the top good. They will be the perfect recipe when I want to give a gift from my kitchen. I would love the label pdf and where to buy the little boxes. I enjoy your recipes and have 10 of them saved in my Paprika app on my computer. Thanks so much!!
I'm so glad, Becky! Thanks for letting us know! We will send the labels your way.
The labels were not able to be delivered. Could there be an error in your email address?
Thank you, Chris, for ANOTHER winning recipe. I made these two days ago and all I can say is, "YUM!!!" These are already a family favorite. ONE problem, though, these cookies put to the test the concept of sharing. Have a lovely day.
Ha! I love that, M!
Good evening, Chris. I'll be making these cookies later in the week. May I kindly ask for the pdf for the pretty labels for these cookies? Thank you for sharing your recipe and the labels.
Sure, M! Enjoy!

I'm not usually one to comment, but these cookies are AMAZING! The flavor and texture are absolutely perfect and have gotten rave reviews from everyone who has tried them! (My only complaint is the learning curve with using a citrus zester . . . ouch!)
Yay! Thanks for letting us know, Carol! And be careful with that citrus zester!
Wow! So easy and delicious!!! I just made a batch for an event tonight and I’m sure they will be a big hit. I wish I could attach a photo because they look picture perfect.

Chris,
I made these amazingly delicious cookies and gave them to my daughter-in-law to take to work and share with her co-workers. They are working so hard and exhausted from taking care of Covid patients.
The response: The cookies were a HUGE hit! "Wow! These are soo good, they're not too soft and not too crunchy!" "Holy cow these are delicious! The lemon is perfect, I love all things lemon"
That says it all!!!
Awesome! Thank you for letting us know, Gayle!
excellent, please send me labels. Also some of the cookies didn't crackle, how to you get them to make sure they crackle, i noticed the ones on lower rack cracked more. Thank you.
Hi Kristi, so happy you enjoyed them. It's hard to say why your cookies didn't crackle. Since the lower ones did, it might just be your oven.
Hi, Chris--
I'm looking forward to making these later today. I'd love to have the PDF for the labels. Thank you so much! MJ
Sure, MJ!
I love everything lemon, can’t wait to try these. Please send labels for gifting to friends .

May I please have these labels.
Friends and neighbours have enjoyed the previous recipes I have gifted them with. The labels add an extra fancy touch.
Thanks
Sure, Kathleen! I'm happy to hear that 🙂
Just made these with my two year old son and they were a good "beginner" recipe for his age. He enjoyed whisking everything. We baked the first batch at 375 for 13 minutes and they were dark brown in the bottom and very crispy. Turned the oven down to 350 and baked for 11 minutes and the second batch was just right for us. We did add an additional teaspoon of lemon extract and enjoyed the flavor. Any thoughts on intensifying the flavor with lemon juice?
Hi Nicole, Sounds like you had fun making them! What a great legacy you're leaving for your son. Regarding the timing, every oven is a little different so I'm glad you got it right for your oven. I wouldn't go with lemon juice as it would alter the texture of the cookies. You could add more zest or more extract for an intense lemon flavor.
Thank you for another great recipe!❤️ I’m going to make these for again today! Would love the pdf too!
Sure, Gayle! Glad you are enjoying them!
Would love the labels - Thank you! All of your recipes are excellent, so very excited to try these cookies - lemon and cookies in the same sentence - got to be good!
Thanks, Nancy! We will send the labels your way!
Hi Chris,
Another wonderful recipe and love the lemon! Made these so my daughter-in-law can take to the hospital and share with her fellow nurses. With the high Omicron cases, the medical staff is reaching their limit after over two years. These cookies will be a welcome treat. Can you also send me the labels!
Thanks so much!
Gayle Humann
Great idea, Gayle! We will send the labels your way.
Would love the pdf. Cookies sound delish!
Sure, Pamela!
Would love to get the PDF for the labels . Lemon cookies are a sunny treat on a cold winter day. Thanks
Sure, Linda! Enjoy!
Chris, I made these cookies today and they have a great flavor but they’re not crackly looking like yours. What do I need to do next time? Thanks for your help!
Hi Millie, it's hard to say without having been right in the kitchen with you. Did you use the cream of tartar? That definitely helps with the crinkly cracks. Also baking at 375 is a little different than most cookies that bake at 350˚F.
Am looking forward to trying these. They sound delicious!
Could you please send the pdf for the labels and boxes?
Thank you!
Thanks, Kathy! Sending the labels your way!
When you call for flour in your cookie and other baking recipes, do you sift the flour? I usually sift my flour into the measuring cup, but that doesn't always seem to work well. Last time I tried just whisking the flour and then measuring into the cup, but it seemed that I then incorporated too much flout.
Phyl
Hi Phyllis, Good question!
I never sift my flour. I stir it up in the flour bin to lighten it a bit, then spoon (I actually use another measuring cup) it into my measuring cup and then level it with a knife.
Please send the pdf of the labels ASAP. Bringing these to a dinner party tonight. Thanks!
Sure, Barbara!
Hi Chris. We have a lemon tree. Perfect recipe to use up some of His abundance.
Would sure appreciate the label PDF,
Also, was so excited about the scripture at the end. I think the verse is 2 Corinthians 4:6. You might want to check and change it.
Love your recipes!
Thanks, Holly! How wonderful to have your own lemon tree!
We'll be happy to send you the labels. Thanks for the head's up on the verse - you're right, it was a typo 💕

We live at 6800 ft., so the altitude is an issue with certain baking recipes. If you ever have thoughts on that with your recipes, it would be appreciated. Finding & trying your recipes has been a good thing about covid. Thank you!!

Sandy

I’m also asking for the lovely labels-!
Love, love, LOVE your blog posts❤️ Your recipes are yummy and the scriptures you leave at the bottom of each one is so encouraging. Thanks for brightening each day. ~Carolyne
Thanks so much for your kind and encouraging words, Carolyne! We'll be happy to send the labels.
These cookies are fabulous! I would love to have the pdf! Thanks Chris, and Happy New Year!
Sure, we'll send them now, Lynda!
Why do you bake each cookie sheet separately? If my oven can hold two cookie sheets, can I bake them at the same time? I also use salted butter for my baking!
Hi Laurel, I find baking cookies on the middle rack yields the best results but it will definitely work to bake two sheets at a time and switch them out halfway through.
I started following your blog just a few weeks ago and I love it! I love your photography, helpful hints, Bible verses and songs you're listening too...it's like a moment of praise in the middle of my day. This cookie recipe looks delicious and will be trying it when I get a couple lemons! We have an empty cookie tin to return to our daughter and will fill it with these cookies for them. Yes, I'd like the labels, please. I'm originally a Wisconsin girl also...but transported to Minnesota, few culture shocks with that move except going from "bubblers" to "drinking fountains"!
Haha! That took us awhile too, Janet!
So happy you've enjoyed our site as well as the Scriptures and songs. I love your description of "a moment of praise..." That's my goal 💕
We'll send the labels now!
They look so yummy! I love lemon and would like to send some to my granddaughters at college. Their roommates love my "Care Packages". Please send me the labels for them. Thank you so much!
Oh, how fun! I know there's a lot of excitement when a package arrives from you! We'll send the labels now, Kathy!
Can't wait to try these...would love the pdf file so I can give these to my friends and family.
Thank you...
They'll make a wonderful gift. We'll send the labels now.
Please send pdf! Thanks!!!
Sure! They're coming your way, Paula!
I always get raves when I make one of your dishes / desserts! I refer so many of my friends to your website. I would enjoy receiving the sweet labels 🙂 Thank you for sharing one of the gifts God has given you with us.
Thank you, Tina! I'm so happy you've enjoyed our recipes. We'll be happy to send the labels 🥰
