1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 drop yellow food coloring, or as desired
¾ cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a medium bowl. Set aside.

LEMON CRINKLE COOKIES



Lemon Crinkle Cookies image

If you like lemon and you like cookies, this recipe is for you! I discovered it on Pinterest and it won the "Top Cookie Award" on an LDS food blog. I've been baking and making cookies for 40 years and haven't stumbled upon a better cookie than this one. It's very refreshing and light, but the texture is what really makes this cookie stand out. Crunchy on the outside and just the right chewy softness on the inside. Wonderful!

LEMON CRINKLE COOKIES



Lemon Crinkle Cookies image

These cookies are bright with sweet lemony flavor, thanks to plenty of lemon zest, lemon juice and a generous coating of confectioners' sugar. The key to success with these cookies is chilling the dough before rolling it into balls. This helps slow down the spreading, giving the tops a chance to crinkle and crack during baking. Tossing the chilled dough balls in granulated sugar before coating in confectioners' sugar also helps the coating adhere, so the cookies are sweet and crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy inside.

Time 3h40m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 large egg
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest, plus 1/4 cup lemon juice (about 2 medium lemons)
6 to 8 drops yellow food coloring, optional (for brighter yellow color)
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat 1 cup of the granulated sugar and the butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the egg and beat until incorporated. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice and food coloring if using and beat until incorporated. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture, beating until just combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Put the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl and the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar in another small bowl. Using a 1-tablespoon scoop, portion the dough and roll into balls. Toss each ball in the granulated sugar, then in the confectioners' sugar, coating it generously and thoroughly. Arrange the balls about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets (you should have 24 balls). Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Position the oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Bake until the cookies spread, the tops crack and the edges are firm, 14 to 16 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemon zest and juice provide the best flavor for these cookies. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use 1 tablespoon of bottled lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Roll the dough balls in powdered sugar: This gives the cookies their signature crinkled appearance and helps prevent them from sticking to the baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. The centers of the cookies should still be slightly soft when you take them out of the oven.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing: The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. Storing them before they have completely cooled can make them more likely to crumble.

Conclusion:

These lemon crinkles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their bright lemon flavor and crinkly texture, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and tangy cookie, give these lemon crinkles a try!
