CRUMBL lemon glaze cookies are a soft and chewy lemon sugar cookie topped with a thick lemon glaze and a slice of lemon on top. This exact crumbl cookie copycat recipe taste just like it and maybe even better if we’re being honest.

It is made with simple ingredients that you probably have in your pantry and fridge and will yield the most decadent cookie of your life!

This is the best-glazed lemon sugar cookie recipe ever!

Personally, I don’t love extremely sweet cookies. That’s why lemon cookie recipes are always a favorite for me. The acidity of the lemon helps balance out the sweetness of the cookie usually and will make it that much better.

The balance in sweetness of these cookies with the lemon cookie, as well as the buttery lemon glaze make this recipe perfect for spring and summer. But hey feel free to make this your next Christmas cookie too to bring a little sunshine into your cookie boxes too!

Zesting a lemon vs juicing a lemon, which one to do first?

When a recipe requires both zest and juice of a lemon it can often be confusing to first time bakers, but I am here to help.

You will first need to zest your lemon, then slice the lemon in half to juice it. It is a very simple process once you get the gist of it.

    SO lemony! My daughter-in-law loved the Crumbl version, so I thought I would give it a try. Easy to make. My glaze was runny, so I added about 1.5 Tbsp. extra powdered sugar. Turned out great!

    I love all things lemon and these are my new favorite cookie! I even did a side by side comparison with the actual Crumbl lemon glaze cookie, and Chahinez’s recipe is better! Far moister and more flavorful than the crumbl cookie.

        You can use melted butter in the glaze but softened butter in the cookie dough.
