Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Snickerdoodles.
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease two cookie sheets. Set them aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 1/4 cups of sugar, softened butter, and vegetable oil until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Step 3
Add in the egg yolks, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients in two batches, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until just combined.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
Step 6
Shape the cookie dough into walnut-sized balls and roll each ball in the sugar mixture until fully coated. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
