Ingredients

• 1.5 Tablespoons (tbsp) lemon juice
• 1 Whole lemon, zested
• 0.25 Cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 Cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1 Cup granulated sugar
• 1 Large egg
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) baking powder
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) baking soda
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 0.5 Cups powdered sugar

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If the dough is too wet, add up to 0.25 cups more flour until the dough is manageable.
6. Place the powdered sugar in a shallow dish.
7. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Coat each ball in powdered sugar and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are crackled.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Enjoy your Lemon Crinkle Cookies with a cup of tea or as a sweet treat any time of the day!
