Easy Lemon Crinkle Cookies Recipe

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.

5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the cookie dough and roll each portion into a ball.

7. Roll each cookie dough ball in the powdered sugar until evenly coated.

8. Place the coated cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

9. Gently flatten each cookie dough ball with the bottom of a glass or the palm of your hand.

10. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.

11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

12. Once cooled, serve and enjoy these delightful Easy Lemon Crinkle Cookies with your favorite beverage!
