I’ve posted nearly ever kind of sugar cookie. Most of which are those soft and fluffy lofthouse style (since they are one of my favorite kinds of cookies – and no, no, don’t confuse those lofthouse brand cookies, hate those but love that style of cookie).
Even though I’ve posted countless variations of sugar cookies I’ve never posted a chewy sugar cookie. The lemon were one of my favorite of the soft version so I decided to make this chewy version lemon as well. These would make an exciting addition to the cookie exchanges going on this year. It’s nice to see the classics but it’s even more exciting to see something new. These cookies are deliciously chewy and they’re loaded with lemon flavor (I often like to use the three sources of lemon – extract, juice and zest to get more lemon flavor). The coarse sanding sugar also adds a nice crunch you get to bite through to get to that soft center. If you like lemon, these are a cookie you must try. Enjoy!
