Fluffy Lemon Crinkle Cookies
FLUFFY Melt in your mouth cookies. That is what these are. They are incredibly addictive with just the perfect amount of lemon flavor.
They turned out SO SO SO SO SO good that I will be making more variations for the holidays.
These cookies only require 5 ingredients and I intentionally made the batch not too big. You will only need a single tray and about 30 minutes of time.
Recipe tips & tricks:
Can you remove dairy?
If you are allergic to dairy- no problem. I recommend using Earth Balance buttery sticks. Other brands of vegan butter may work too but I find their melting point differs from real butter enough that they may spread more than the recipe intends. With fluffy cookies like this- spreading more wont hurt the recipe too much so I think this is a safe place to experiment.
Can you remove the eggs?
I woudn’t recommend it.. not unless you have the skills and time on your hands to try different things out.
Can you sub the king arthur baking gluten free cake mix? I wouldnt. The king arthur mixes contain more sugar so therefore the cookies will spread too much. Look for a cake mix with the same amount of sugar and carbs per serving.
Can you sub in other flours? No. The cake mix has sugar, salt, vanilla, baking powder/soda & a blend of flours. I’m able to simplify the recipes down to 5 ingredients because of that. No flour alone will perform the same.
I used gram measurements. Why?
Gluten baking can be seriously hit or miss if it’s not precise. ESPECIALLY cookies. No two people measure a cup of flour the same. If you want to make absolute sure that your cookies turn out grab an inexpensive kitchen scale. It’s so much easier- you’ll never look back .
How to tell when Cookies are done baking?
They should be lightly golden on the bottom edges. They will continue to cook through as they cool down.
