Delicious Lemon Crinkle Cookies

These delicious Lemon Crinkle Cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They have a soft and chewy texture with a bright and zesty lemon flavor. The crinkly sugar coating adds a delightful crunch and makes them look as good as they taste. These cookies are simple to make and require minimal ingredients, so you can whip up a batch in no time.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar, for rolling

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  4. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  5. Scoop dough out by the tablespoonful and roll into balls. Roll each ball in the granulated sugar and place on the baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will look slightly under-baked, but they will continue to cook as they cool.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
