Chewy Lemon Butter Crinkles (Cookies)

These tasted Marvelous and my husband and kids were ooing and aawing. They did spread quite a bit, so I think with an adjustment of either the butter or flour, they will look like the ones on Kittencal’s pic. Because of this, they need to be further spaced from one another on the cookie sheet . I also refrigerated the batter overnight. However, my family loved the texture as-is. They came out thin with chewy and crispy edges and they told me to not change a thing. So you know, that these will hit my Christmas cookie tray this year! Delicious, with a capital “D”. Thank you, Kittencal, for sharing. Made it for Pick Me tag game.

The batter tasted good, so there's that. I had to refrigerate it for well over an hour before it would allow me to roll it, and even then it stuck to my hands more than it rolled. I finally ended up just dropping dollops in sugar and pouring more sugar over the top. While baking, the cookies spread out to make a solid mass on my cookie sheet, and while they were still raw at 8 minutes, they were hopelessly burned (but only on the edges of the pan, the center was still raw) at 10. They also never puffed, or even hinted they might. Instead, they spread to a very thin layer that was, indeed, chewy. And tasted like lemon. But they came out nothing like the photo, nor do they look like cookies.
