LEMON CRISP COOKIES



Lemon Crisp Cookies image

I received this cookie in a cookie swap this year. These were my favorites of the bunch! I haven't tried these yet, but I think that I will refrigerate the dough and make them into balls. Just to get a more "perfect" looking cookie.

Time 1h5m

Yield 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup softened butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon lemon zest, finely grated
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups flour
colored crystal sugar, for decorating

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Beat butter and sugar until fluffy.
  • Add egg, lemon zest, juice, vanilla and beat again.
  • In Separate bowl, Sift together Baking powder, baking soda, salt and flour.

  • Sprinkle with colored sugar.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly browned.
  • Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute then move to a cooling rack.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut and lemons. Fresh coconut and lemons provide the best flavor for these crisps. If you can't find fresh coconut, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the crisps tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the crisps hold their shape better.
  • Bake the crisps until they are golden brown. The crisps should be golden brown on the edges and slightly soft in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the crisps cool completely before storing them. The crisps will be easier to handle and store once they have cooled completely.

Conclusion:

Coconut lemon crisps are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them chewy or crunchy, these crisps are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give coconut lemon crisps a try!
