These cookies are sweet with a light lemon flavor and are soft as opposed to crisp.
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon lemon extract
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Directions:
1. Combine the dry ingredients, except powdered sugar, in a medium sized bowl and mix well. Do the same for the wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
2. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix well with a wooden spoon.
3. Cover the bowl with a towel and refrigerate for approximately one hour.
4. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Remove dough from fridge. Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Roll cookie dough into walnut sized balls and dip in the powdered sugar, covering all sides. Use more powdered sugar as needed.
5. Place dough balls on a nonstick cookie sheet spacing them approximately 1.5 to 2 inches apart. Bake for ten minutes. The cookies will flatten out and brown very slightly.
6. Let cookie sheet cool for at least two minutes before moving cookies to a cooling rack.
