Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease light colored baking sheets with non stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Whip in vanilla, egg, lemon zest and juice. Scrape sides and mix again. Stir in all dry ingredients slowly until just combined, excluding the powdered sugar. Scrape sides of bowl and mix again briefly. Pour powdered sugar onto a large plate. Roll a heaping teaspoon of dough into a ball and roll in powdered sugar. Place on baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes or until bottoms begin to barely brown and cookies look matte {not melty or shiny}. Remove from oven and cool cookies about 3 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
  • *If using a non stick darker baking tray, reduce baking time by about 2 minutes.

    Delicious cookie, but definitely needs more lemon/zest. Bakes up nicely though, and taste SO GOOD!!! Thank you Otterpond, more in the IMI II Group ----------> Lemon Crinkle Cookies

    Made these for a Christmas tray of cookies and they were a huge hit - absolutely delicious. I substituted lemon extract for the vanilla extract and increased the lemon zest to 1 TBL.. I also made a glaze from powdered sugar and lemon juice and a bit of zest and brushed the tops of the baked cookies with a thin layer - I really like lemon! They were super DELISH and I'll be making them again. Thank you for a great post!
