A fluffier cookie, with less crunch, but still a little chew, and a melt-in-your mouth texture. That&#8217;s exactly how these gluten-free Lemon Cookies are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the secret to getting enough lemon flavor in these cookies? <\/strong>Zest like you&#8217;ve never zested before, baby! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I make it a point to say that in every citrus recipe I make because it makes THAT big of a difference. Trust me when I say from experience, you&#8217;ll hardly get any flavor if you simply use the lemon juice. Lemon zest is a MUST HAVE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t own a tool to zest with?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The way I see it, you have two options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Don&#8217;t make this recipe! Probably an odd thing to say, but I would rather you make something else that doesn&#8217;t require zest and love it, rather than trying to make these and not getting the lovely lemon cookies you were dreaming of \ud83d\ude41<\/li><li>Buy one already, sheesh! I thought I would never use mine and now I use it frequently. I highly recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B004VLYQGS\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B004VLYQGS&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=milehighmittsblog-20&amp;linkId=b88ba5fc6f4729fa1208fa9db8cecf6f\">this one<\/a>, that I own and love. For only $10 you can&#8217;t beat it.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Now that you have a tool to zest with, what&#8217;s the best way to zest?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Lightly, but with pressure, rub your lemon along the surface of the zesting tool, only zesting each section of the lemon once. Continue around the entire lemon until the whole surface of the lemon has been zested. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know I said to zest like you&#8217;ve never zested before, <strong>but you don&#8217;t want to zest your fruit so hard that you get down to the rind of the lemon<\/strong> (the white part under the yellow coating). The rind of the lemon will be bitter, and I don&#8217;t think bitter cookies sound particularly appetizing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-pin-description=\"Simple and classic Lemon Cookies, made gluten-free.

What&#8217;s next? Making these delicious Lemon Cookies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These gluten-free Lemon Cookies are an easy recipe, that are really a spin on my classic white chocolate dipped cookie recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick to whip up, and always a crowd pleaser, these cookies never fail me. <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin, preheat your oven to 350 and line two pans with parchment paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, in a large mixing bowl, cream together your softened butter and sugars. Beat them together with a mixer for a few minutes, till the mixture is nice and creamy and your mouth is watering. Add in your lemon juice (I like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00YBP918M\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=milehighmittsblog-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B00YBP918M&amp;linkId=25fa7fb5743019a6aa3607e46e5eb3bb\">this squeezer<\/a>), lemon zest, egg and vanilla and mix together again briefly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, to the same bowl, sprinkle in your flour, baking soda, salt and cornstarch. Using a spatula, stir the ingredients together till they form a nice, smooth batter. Due to the added lemon juice, you may need to add more flour to the dough if it doesn&#8217;t quite seem thick enough. I added an extra 2 tablespoons to mine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, scoop the dough using a small cookie scoop onto your pans, about 12 cookies per sheet. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or till the edges are just set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-pin-description=\"Simple and classic Lemon Cookies, made gluten-free.
