Lemon Crinkle Cookies
ingredients:
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon lemon zest (freshly grated for maximum aroma)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and ensures an even bake.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. This step helps evenly distribute the leavening agents.
Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This creates the perfect base for tender cookies.
Add the Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated. Then mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. The citrus aroma will already start filling your kitchen!
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—this helps keep the cookies soft and tender.
Shape the Dough: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion the dough into balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar, ensuring a generous coating. This step gives the cookies their iconic crinkled appearance.
Bake: Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look crinkled. Avoid overbaking to retain their soft texture.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Once cooled, enjoy the citrusy goodness!
