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
- In a mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar, and lemon zest with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the lemon juice and egg. Beat again to combine.
- Add in the flour, gradually, as well as the baking soda, salt, and mix by hand with a spatula until combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30- 60 minutes
- Remove the dough from the fridge. Pre-heat over to 350*F. Place 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl for rolling the cookies.
- Scoop cookie dough and roll to form balls, rolling each ball into the sugar.
- 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.
- 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)!
