They're so different from the phrase, “That’s the way the cookie crumbles.”

The expression must have been coined specifically for other lemon cookie recipes - those yielding a crumbly collection of broken pieces.

Too often lemon cookies have a lackluster flavor and an over-crispy texture.

But this easy recipe for lemon drop cookies is soft and chewy, packed with just the right amount of bite, thanks to three kinds of lemon: fresh lemon, lemon flavoring, and lemon juice.

Lemon lover? You’ll love these.

Prep time: 15 minutes
Set time: 9-10 minutes
