For the Cookies:
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed for best flavor)
1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (optional, for texture)
Optional Add-Ins:
Zest of 1 lemon (for extra aroma and flavor)
A pinch of salt (to balance sweetness)
How to Make No-Bake Lemon Cookies
This recipe is as straightforward as they come. Follow these step-by-step instructions for perfection.
Step 1: Mix the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Stir until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency. If it feels too wet, add more powdered sugar; if too dry, add a splash more lemon juice.
Fold in the shredded coconut (if using) and lemon zest for added texture and flavor.
Step 2: Shape the Cookies
Use your hands to form small balls or flatten them slightly into discs. Place them on a plate or tray lined with wax paper or parchment paper.
Step 3: Chill and Set
Refrigerate the shaped cookies for at least 30 minutes, or until firm. This chilling time ensures the cookies hold their shape and develop a chewy texture.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Once set, remove the cookies from the fridge and serve immediately. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips for Success
Use Fresh Lemons : Freshly squeezed lemon juice provides better flavor and brightness compared to bottled juice.
Adjust Sweetness : If you prefer sweeter cookies, increase the amount of powdered sugar gradually until desired sweetness is achieved.
