Lemon Crinkle Cookies Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Crinkle Cookies Delight.

1. Step 1

   In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda, then set this dry blend aside.

2. Step 2

   In a larger bowl, cream together sugar and softened butter using an electric mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

3. Step 3

   Next, incorporate the egg, vanilla extract, lemon extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, and yellow food coloring if desired, mixing thoroughly while scraping down the bowl to ensure all ingredients are well combined.

4. Step 4

   Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing.

5. Step 5

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the cookie dough chill in the refrigerator for one hour to firm up.

6. Step 6

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

   Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart, and gently flatten each ball to about half an inch thick.

8. Step 8

   Pour confectioners' sugar into a shallow bowl and coat each flattened dough round, ensuring they are well covered before transferring them back to the baking sheet with a fork or spoon.

9. Step 9

   Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies lose their glossy sheen and develop a matte finish.

10. Step 10

    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for three to five minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
