Chewy Lemon Crisps

Ingredients:

    * 1 cup butter, softened
    * 1-1/2 cups white sugar
    * 2 eggs
    * 2 tablespoons lemon zest
    * 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    * 1+1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    * 1 teaspoon baking powder
    * 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    * 2+1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    * 1/2 cup sugar
    * 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions:

   1.  Preheat oven to 350*
   2. Beat butter until light yellow. Add sugar and beat until fluffy.
   3. In a separate bowl whisk the flour, baking soda, and powder.
   4. Add lemon zest and juice to the butter mixture. 
   5. Add eggs.
   6. Add flour mixture. Mix just until blended.
   7. Mix sugar and lemon zest together on a plate.
   8. Drop spoonfuls of dough into sugar and roll.
   9. Place on cookie sheet, I can fit 8 balls of dough on mine.
  10. Bake for around 10 minutes. If edges are brown they will be more crispy than chewy.
  11.  Cool on cookie sheet for 3 minutes then transfer to wire cooling rack.

Makes around 48 cookies. :)

  1. p.s. It's better to butter the cookie sheets unless you have nonstick cookie sheets.
