Number Of Ingredients 28

Cakey version:
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups All Purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1-stick) butter
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 cup fresh blueberries
OR
CHEWY VERSION:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cups bread flour (can use AP flour, but won't be as chewy)
1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1-stick) butter, cut into cubes
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1 to 2 large lemons)
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium-sized bowl mix together the flour(s), baking soda, (baking powder if making the cakey version) and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer beat both kids of sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the egg yolk (or eggs, if making cakey version), beat until very well combined, about 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and sour cream, mix until well combined. Sprinkle the dry ingredients over the wet ingredients, stir until just combined. Gently stir in the blueberries. Using a cookie scoop, scoop golf ball sized mounds onto a cookie sheet that has been covered with parchment paper (if making cakey version, chill for 20 to 30 minutes prior to baking or they will spread too much. Chewy version does not need to be chilled). Bake at 350°F for 12 to 16 minutes or until the top just starts to turn a very light golden brown. Immediately slide the parchment onto the counter, allow the cookies to cool to room temperature.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup agave nectar or honey
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons lemon juice

In a small cup, combine the lemon juice baking soda. With the mixer on low, add in flour mixture and lemon juice mixture. Scrape down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula and mix the dough by hand a few times to ensure an even distribution of the ingredients. Shape into 1 inch balls and place on parchment paper lined baking sheets. Place the baking sheet on the middle rack in your oven and bake the cookies for 10 to 15 minutes, just until cookies are slightly brown on the edges. It is better to under cook them slightly than over cook them. Remove cookies from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Toss them lightly in powdered sugar and place on cooling rack to finish the cooking process.

LEMON CHEWY COOKIES

This is one of my "throw-together" recipes. :-) The little bit of buttermilk brings out the lemon flavor even more. They taste better than they look in this picture. I'm having problems with my camera.

Provided by Rose Dailey

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c butter, softened but not melted
2 c sugar
2 medium eggs
1 Tbsp lemon extract
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/8 c buttermilk
2 c unsifted all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
powdered sugar for rolling cookies

Steps:

  • 1. By hand, cream butter and sugar in large mixing bowl. Add eggs, lemon extract, lemon juice,and buttermilk; blend well.
  • 2. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt; blend into creamed mixture. Don't over-stir.
  • 3. Roll into walnut-sized balls and then roll in the powdered sugar. Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
  • 4. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Do not over-bake. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality lemons for the best flavor. Look for lemons that are bright yellow and have a smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Zest the lemons before juicing them. This will release the oils from the lemon peel, which will add a lot of flavor to the cookies.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies to be chewy.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature. Too high of a temperature will cause the cookies to brown too quickly and become dry.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before enjoying them.
