Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the butter mixture and continue mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Roll each dough ball lightly in powdered sugar until coated. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the lemon crisp cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
