Lemon sugar cookies are easy to make and can be topped in several ways or even made into a great cookie sandwich. Let your imagination run wild on this one.
3/4 cup of soften salted butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon lemon extract
2 tablespoons lemon zest
4 drops yellow food coloring
(1/2 cup of sugar to roll the dough in)
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line 2 half sheet pans with parchment paper
In a mixer beat the sugar and butter until fluffy. Add in the egg, lemon extract, food coloring and zest, mix well. In a medium bowl mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda. Now add the flour mixture into the wet mixture a little at a time (hand mix) until incorporated. Chill the batter for approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Using a teaspoon make 1 1/4″ ball of batter and roll into the sugar and place on the cookie sheet 1 1/2″ apart. Bake for 12 minutes (edges should be slightly brown) allow to cool 15 minutes then place onto a wire cooling rack until completely cooled.
Enjoy
