Lemon cookies

Lemon cookies
Another great find off of Pinterest. These won first place in the Food Dish best cookie contest. Of course I had to taste them for myself. A soft and chewy bite. Delicately sweet with the combination of that tangy lemon flavor. This cookie is a keeper.


Lemon Cookies
Adapted Recipe from: LDS Living

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 egg
2 tsp. lemon zest
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar


DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease light colored baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. 
Whip in vanilla, egg, lemon zest, and juice. Scrape sides and mix again.
Stir in all dry ingredients slowly until just combined, excluding the powdered sugar.
Scrape sides of bowl and mix again briefly. Pour powdered sugar onto a large plate.
Roll a heaping teaspoon of dough into a ball and roll in powdered sugar.
Place on baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough.
Bake for 9-11 minutes or until bottoms begin to barely brown and cookies look matte.
Remove from oven and cool cookies about three minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
*If using a non-stick darker baking tray, reduce baking time by about 2 minutes.
