Time 52m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
2 egg yolks
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon half-and-half
½ teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets lightly.
  • Combine 3 tablespoons white sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice together in a small bowl.
  • Beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat egg yolks, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and vanilla extract into butter mixture. Add flour, half-and-half, and baking soda; stir until dough is just combined.
  • Roll dough into walnut-size balls, coating each in the lemon sugar mixture and allowing excess to drip off. Place 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes more.
