Description

Lemon cookies with chew!

Ingredients

  • 2-⅛ cups All-purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter, Melted And Cooled
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • ¼ cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 whole Egg Yolk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Extract
  • 2 Tablespoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
  • 2 teaspoons Freshly Grated Lemon Zest/rind

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Mix flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.

In a large bowl, add cooled, melted butter and whisk sugar into it until smooth. Add in egg and egg yolk, mixing to combine, then whisk in vanilla and lemon extracts, lemon juice and lemon zest. Stir in dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. If needed, use your hands to form the dough (I did).

Using an ice cream spoon, scoop the dough into golf-ball sized balls and place on a baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until middle is just set and edges are slightly golden.

These cookies are really delicious. Just as promised, chewy in the middle with the slightest crunch around the edges. If you are a fan of soft doughy cookies these are for you. The delicate lemon flavor is also a nice break from the standard cookie varieties. I’m a fan.
