Two bakers. Two lemon cookie recipes. Who will win?

I mentioned to the kids that we were running out of cookies and that we had lemons so we should make a lemon cookie.  They found two recipes and couldn't agree so they asked if they could each make one and see who's is better. 
Alex selected a lemon crinkle cookie: https://laurenslatest.com/lemon-crinkle-cookies/





Elizabeth selected a glazed lemon cookie: https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/glazed-lemon-cookies/


Interestingly these remind me of the lemon girl scout cookies - savannah smiles for Alex and Lemon-up for Elizabeth.
Lemon Crinkle Cookies:


Lemon Glazed cookies:


The lemon glazed cookies had most of the lemon flavor in the glaze. They are a more cake like texture - soft and crumbly.
The lemon crinkle cookies are chewier with crisp edges.  The lemon flavor was throughout the cookie. 
Patrick liked the glazed cookies and I liked the crinkle cookies best.  Tie game!  Everyone wins!
