    These vegan lemon crinkle cookies bake up soft and chewy, with a sunny
    citrus flavour and a classic powdered sugar crackle on top. Lovely!

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and lemon zest.
    Rub them together with your fingers for about 30 seconds until the
    sugar becomes fragrant and slightly moist. This releases the lemon
    oils and intensifies the flavor.

    Add the melted vegan butter to the lemon sugar and whisk until smooth
    and glossy.

    Whisk in the fresh lemon juice and vanilla extract until fully
    combined.

    Add the flour, corn starch, baking powder, salt, and turmeric to the
    bowl.

    Fold gently with a spatula just until no dry flour remains. The dough
    will be soft and slightly sticky. Do not overmix.

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 60 minutes. Chilling helps the
    cookies hold their shape and develop a proper crinkle texture.

    Preheat the oven to 350?F (175?C). Line a baking sheet with
    parchment paper.

    Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl.

    Scoop about 1 tb of dough per cookie, roll into balls, and generously
    coat each ball in powdered sugar.

    Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2"
    apart.

    Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set and the tops are
    cracked and crinkled. The centers should still look slightly soft.

    Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer
    to a wire rack to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.
