Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Crinkle Cookies.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, blend together the brown sugar, shortening, egg, and zesty lemon peel until the mixture transforms into a creamy delight.
Step 3
Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt, stirring until a smooth dough comes together.
Step 4
On a plate, pour out the white sugar, then roll the dough into 1-inch balls, dipping one side into the sugar for a sweet finish.
Step 5
Arrange the sugared-side up on two baking sheets, ensuring they have enough space to spread.
Step 6
Slide the trays into the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, watching for the edges to turn a pale golden and the tops to dry out, signaling that your delicious treats are ready to be enjoyed.
