You know when you make a recipe and it turns out EXACTLY the way you imagined it? The texture is right on. The flavor profile is just the way it should be. Even visually it is precisely the way you saw it in your mind. Any recipe creator will know what I’m talking about. Everything lines up to create the recipe of your dreams!

So yeah, that happened. With these lemon sugar cookies. I was going for a chewy cookie, bursting with an intense lemon flavor. I created that by using fresh lemon juice and lemon zest. The magic combo. I also creamed the coconut oil and sugars with the lemon zest. Makes such a difference! The cookies are rolled in sugar, creating a crispy edge. The center is soft and chewy. Just the way I like my cookies to be. All the goodness of these gluten free vegan chewy lemon sugar cookies makes me happy. So much goodness!
