My friend Lauren made these for a baby shower recently and they were delicious. (Hers were much more petite and cuter than mine.) I asked her for the recipe and made them this past week. The biggest compliment for any sweet treat around here is Ben's consumption of it. He's eaten his fair share of these!
In other news, I finally invested in a Silpat. They are pricey (this one was $20 on Amazon) but considering the cost of parchment paper, it won't be long before this thing actually saves me money.
Lemon Crinkle Cookies
- 1 stick softened unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 TBSP lemon zest (about one lemon's worth)
- 1 1/2 TBSP lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
With a whisk, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a separate larger bowl, cream softened butter and sugar till light and fluffy. Add in egg, vanilla, lemon zest and lemon juice.
Pour the flour mixture into the butter mixture and combine.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper (or use a Silpat). Pour powdered sugar into a small bowl. Roll cookie dough into small 1 inch balls and roll in sugar, coating evenly. Place cookie balls 2 inches apart on baking sheet and bake at 350 for 9-10 minutes.
