    love making these during the holidays to cut through all the chocolate and warming spices. I preserve the lemons in early October. definitely a crowd favorite! I like to add fresh lemon zest as well for an additional zing

    Some of the greatest cookies I’ve ever made. These are on repeat! I prefer to use preserved lemon paste (by New York Shuk) for a big shortcut

    Seriously good. Used New York Shuk preserved lemon paste.

    These are reallly good. I did add more preserved lemon than the 2 Tbl called for, but might have been why the dough was really sticky even after chilling. Way better the day after baking, worth waiting.

    Also added extra preserved lemon and may add even more next time. Really nice subtle lemon flavor. It will not pack a punch like other lemon desserts like lemon bars, etc. but I appreciated this new twist on a classic crinkle cookie. Enjoyed this recipe more than the almond/matcha version.

    So excited to have a new way to use my preserved lemons. Really interesting take on a lemon cookie, and I loved the flavor and texture. I added more preserved lemon than called for.

    These taste great and have a nice soft texture. Rolling in granulated sugar before powdered sugar really helps the final look, since the powdered sugar doesn't dissolve into the dough as much. Next time will add even more preserved lemon.

    Lovely recipe, easy, fresh flavor.

    Preserved lemon is one of my most beloved secret ingredients and I was excited to try this recipe, which didn't disappoint.
