I love a good gingersnap, and these Gingersnaps with Lemon Sugar didn’t disappoint. They are easy to throw together and fairly forgiving. I love the sugar coating creating a nice crunchy exterior, but the lemon flavor didn’t really come through for me. I think I’d either skip or double the zest next time, but the overall cookie recipe is excellent.
I was nervous the cookies were going to be overly lemon-y, but was surprised that the citrus flavour was pretty subtle like you said. I’m really excited for the Toffee Bundt Cake up next!
Yes, super subtle. I’d like more lemon too! Yours are super pretty, though.
Your crackles are perfect, Liz! I found the lemon subtle as well, but it was enough that I could tell there was something different about these, versus a regular gingersnap. I agree, this recipe is very forgiving!
So glad these worked out perfectly for you! This was, by far, the most controversial recipe to date!
