Flavor explosion Lemon Cookies!

Now this is an excellent lemon cookie.  I ate way too much of the dough before I even started baking the cookies!  Definitely  will be remaking these soon.  I had to have the DSH take some to work so I wouldn't eat them all.

Lemon Crinkle Cookies

   Recipe:  LDS Living Magazine, Lauren Brennan, laurenslatest.com

 

1 cup butter, softened

2 cups sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 whole eggs

2 tsp. lemon zest

2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice (abt 1 lemon)

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. baking soda

3 cups flour

1 cup powdered sugar

 

Preheat oven to 350.  Lightly grease baking pans, or use baking sheets.

 

In a large bowl cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir in dry ingredients, excluding powdered sugar, just until combined.

 

With cookie scoop, or hands, roll into balls, then roll in powdered sugar. Bake 9-11 minutes or until bottoms barely brown and cookies look matte (not melty or shiny). Remove from oven and cook about 3 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
