New Recipe: Best Chewy Lemon Sugar Cookie Recipe

chewy lemon sugar cookies

Joel Goldberg

Lemon sugar cookies are our favorite summer treat. The taste of lemon is so bright and refreshing that it makes us forget all about those chocolate chip cookies. Plus, we love a cookie rolled in sugar for that sparkly crust it gives. 

This recipe yields cookies that are soft and sweet with that perfect chewy center that keeps you wanting more. They take very minimal effort and the hardest part will be letting them chill in the fridge. Be patient! That rest time will be worth it for the wrinkly texture it provides.
