Lemon Crinkle Cookies with only 4 Ingredients

These lemon meltaway cookies are crunchy, sweet and melt in your mouth as you eat them. The cookies are easy to make and don’t require any flour or eggs. They store well and can be made ahead of time for a party or gifting.

I love making meltaway cookies. These little round morsels are so cute and make a nice sweet treat. This lemon version is my new favorite one. The lemon adds so much flavor and it reminds me a little of eating lemon bars.

Ingredients:

  • Lemon Juice and Zest
  • Condensed Milk
  • Butter
  • Cornstarch

WHAT ARE LEMON MELTAWAY COOKIES?

These meltaway cookies are a lemon flavored version of sequilhos (Brazilian cornstarch cookies). I explain more in my 3 Ingredient meltaway cookies recipe. My version is slightly different from the traditional ones in that I use less cornstarch so the cookies are a little less starchy and a little more like shortbread.

Moist Coconut Macaroons Recipe

A simple recipe for simple coconut macarons made from sweetened condensed milk and finely grated coconut. The perfect gluten free play cookie!

The special thing about coconut macarons is that they can be really good or very bad. This begs the question: “What makes a good macaron?” We’ll talk about that and much more, but unfortunately I won’t leave you hanging any longer.Are there any macarons you can find here? Carefree. They’re really good

I’m actually not even a coconut fan, but these cookies are absolutely addictive. The last time I served them, every guest came back for seconds.All. And who could blame them? They’re perfectly juicy, full of flavor, dipped in chocolate and completely legal.

The first macaron recipes I tried left a lot to be desired. They consisted mainly of shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk and whipped egg whites.And while I realize that a short, simple dish can save time, I have to say that we can add a lot more flavor to a macaron with little effort and just a few additional ingredients.

Before we explain how to improve them, let’s first talk about what they are.

How To Make Strawberry Shortcake

Everyone went crazy over this recipe- its not as hard as it looks, I promise! but it does take a bit of time to complete- but trust me its worth every second!

You can even make some of it in advance to save you time! I usually do the cheesecake the night before- to save me time the day of.  The next day I bake the cake layers – then before I am getting ready to display this beauty I whip up the frosting and crumble topping then assemble the whole cake.

You can even make the cheesecake layer even further in advance and placing it into the freezer! Just wrap tightly and store in your freezer until ready to use!
