Description

Wonderful lemon cookies that are very addicting!

Ingredients

  • 2-¾ cups Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1-½ cup Sugar, Plus 1/2 Cup For Rolling
  • 1 whole Egg
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla
  • 4 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 whole Lemon, Zested

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

In a small bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and whisk together. Set aside.

In the bowl of your mixer, cream the butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg, vanilla, lemon juice and zest. Mix until fully incorporated.

Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Roll tablespoon-sized balls of dough in the extra sugar. Place on a cookie sheet 2 inches apart.

Bake 8–10 minutes or until very lightly browned. Let cool, then enjoy!

Yummy cookie – but mine were very flat. It may be my altitude (Denver), though. Had a bunch of lemons, so made another batch of dough for the freezer with more flour. Hopefully those will be thicker.

These are tasty and quite easy to make, with a crisp outside and chewy inside. I only wish mine looked like the photo with the crackled top. I made these for a bake sale and they look like Pillsbury slice and bake cookies! Next time, I’ll try smaller balls and coarse sanding sugar…

Simple and easy! These were super good :) And I like that all the ingredients were things we have on hand! No special trips to the store for this recipe!!

Great cookie! I made a batch this afternoon and they’re almost all gone now – definitely one I’ll make again. They taste like spring!
