I LOVE LEMON FLAVORED THINGS PLEASE GIVE ME THE LUCKY LEMON COOKIE RECIPE!!!!
YES ABSOLUTELY HERE YOU GO
My tips for this recipe are,
One, mix the Lemon zest and white sugar WITH YOUR HANDS. stirring them is fine, but it really saturates the sugar when your hands heat up the oils in the lemon zest. Also, this step just smells. Amazing.
The yellow food coloring is totally optional, but it does make the cookies look that much more appealing. Without it the dough is a very pale sort of yellow, and it doesn't really convey LEMON. But that is just personal preference
During step three the batter will look sort of oily? That part always freaks me out its FINE. its just the zest and egg being weird, keep beating it at a higher speed, it will sort itself out
I like to chill this dough for as long as I can stand, but the longer the dough sits the better they taste, as the lemon has time to really set in. An hour or two is absolutely fine, but OVERNIGHT? the best.
FOR THE ROLLING STEPS. Roll the dough balls in the white sugar first, THEN the powdered sugar. The regular sugar binds the dough as a ball (and it bakes into a nice layer) and the POWDERED SUGAR is what gives the cookies the Crinkle bit. This rolling part is a pain, but the more powdered sugar is on the ball the prettier they look.
I just realized its kinda dumb to just post a picture of the recipe and not. Like. Write it. So I slapped it under the cut with steps!
HAPPY BAKING THESE COOKIES ARE SO DELIGHTFUL
