This chewy lemon crinkle cookie recipe is my go-to when I need something lemony and quick. The only thing that takes a little time is letting the dough get cold for an hour before baking.
Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter at room temperature
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Juice and zest of one lemon
Powdered Sugar
Instructions
Combine dry ingredients and set aside.
Cream butter and sugar.
Add egg, lemon juice, zest, and vanilla, and mix to combine.
Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well.
Refrigerate for one hour.
Using a cookie scoop, form cookie dough balls (dough texture will be sticky), roll them in powdered sugar, and bake them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes in a 350º oven. Let cool for a minute or two before transferring to a cooling rack.
