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.

Categories     dessert

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.

LEMON CRINKLES



LEMON CRINKLES image

Categories     Citrus

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease light colored 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. *If using a non stick darker baking tray, reduce baking time by about 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • Make sure the butter and sugar are creamed together until light and fluffy. This will help to create a smooth batter and prevent the cookies from being too dense.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can toughen the cookies.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will dry out the cookies.
  • Roll the cookies in powdered sugar while they are still warm. This will help the sugar to stick to the cookies and create a beautiful crinkled appearance.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Lemon crinkle cookies are a classic cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. With their bright lemon flavor and crinkled texture, these cookies are sure to be a favorite.
