Lemon Crinkle Cookies

These lemon crinkle cookies are so good.  They taste just like lemon bars.  If you love lemon bars, you will love these.  I got this recipe off the web at www.ldsliving.com. 


 RECIPE:

½ cups butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 whole egg
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoons baking powder
⅛ teaspoons baking soda
1-½ cup all-purpose flour

½ cups powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Whip in vanilla, egg, lemon zest, and juice. Scrape sides and mix again. Stir in all dry ingredients slowly until just combined, excluding the powdered sugar. Scrape sides of bowl and mix again briefly. Pour powdered sugar onto a large plate. Roll a heaping teaspoon of dough into a ball and roll in powdered sugar. Place on baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough.

Bake for 9-11 minutes or until bottoms begin to barely brown and cookies look matte {not melty or shiny}. Remove from oven and cool cookies about 3 minutes before transferring to cooling rack

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Whip in vanilla, egg, lemon zest, and juice. Scrape sides and mix again. 
 Make sure you use fresh lemon zest and fresh lemon juice.

Stir in all dry ingredients slowly until just combined, excluding the powdered sugar. 

 Scrape sides of bowl and mix again briefly.
 
I use a small scoop to scoop out the dough and put it in the powdered sugar and roll it all around.
 I then put them on a plate, it keeps my baking pan cleaner because the powdered sugar drops all over.
 Make sure you spray the pan, the cookies will stick. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until bottoms begin to barely brown and cookies look matte {not melty or shiny}. 
 Remove from oven and cool cookies about 3 minutes before transferring to cooling rack
 These cookies taste just like lemon bars.
