Lemon Chewy Crisps image

Great fresh lemon taste in a chewy little cookie with a nice crisp brown edge. If you don't have the almonds, you can substitute 1/4 cup additional sugar instead.

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup butter, softened
¾ cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. Beat in remaining ingredients except flour until well blended.
  • On low speed, beat in flour just until blended.
  • Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle with sugar or almonds.
  • Bake 10 to 12 minutes until edges are lightly browned. Cool on cookie sheet 1 minute before removing to wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. HINT: These cookies will have a nicely browned edge if baked on a regular thin cookie sheet rather than a thick or insulated one.
