This is a quick and easy recipe. And delicious! I made them for Easter. I doubled the lemon ingredients because I LOVE lemon and they baked just fine. Will probably add even more lemon next time. Coconut and lemon are so good together!
These cookies have become my family’s favourites. We like our lemon desserts pretty sour, so I added 1 tbsp more of Lemon Extract to the recipe and 2 tbsp more of Lemon juice, but overall just a wonderful, wonderful recipe!
Other than cutting the recipe in half, I made them exactly as directed. Baking time was perfect at 9 minutes for my oven. These are exactly as the submitter describes “crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.” One word of caution is that they do spread quite a bit. They will puff up while baking, and then flatten out, pretty thin, so make sure you space them apart accordingly. I used a small cookie scoop, and my first pan I placed them too close together, and they all ran into each other. If using a half sheet pan, only go 3 across the width, and no more than 4 lengthwise. They are very tasty, and go perfect with a cup of tea.
