Lemon Sugar Cookies Recipe with Video by Jenn Armknecht

Craving something sweet and zesty? You’ve come to the right place! This past December, during all the holiday festivities, Jenn Armknecht, REALTOR with Licata Group EXP hosted a Cookie Exchange Party, baking over 600+ cookies!!! These lemon sugar cookies were such a hit, she was asked for the recipe multiple times and we’d like to share it with you!!

Ingredients:
2 sticks unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
6 tbsp lemon zest
4 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 large egg
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar, for rolling cookies

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar, and lemon zest with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add in the lemon juice and egg. Beat again to combine.
  3. Add in the flour, gradually, as well as the baking soda, salt, and mix by hand with a spatula until combined.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30- 60 minutes
  5. Remove the dough from the fridge. Pre-heat over to 350*F. Place 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl for rolling the cookies.
  6. Scoop cookie dough and roll to form balls, rolling each ball into the sugar.
  7. Place the cookies 2 inches apart on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 11 – 13 minutes or until the edges have a faint golden color.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Move to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Try it out for yourself and let us know what you think! Below is the original recipe Jenn used, however, she modified it just a tad by doubling the lemon zest and lemon juice(already modified in this provided recipe)!
