Lemon Crinkle Cookies

Ingredients:

• 4 ounces butter

• 1 cup sugar

• 1 egg

• 1 1/4 egg yolks

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon lemon liqueur

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

• Powdered sugar, for coating

Instructions:

Combine butter, sugar, eggs, egg yolks, lemon juice, lemon liqueur and vanilla extract. Next, add flour, baking soda and salt, and mix to combine.

Scoop dough, and generously coat with powdered sugar.

Shake off excess sugar before lining on sheet tray.

Bake at 325 F for 8 to 10 minutes. (If cookies aren’t spreading much by 6 minutes, remove from the oven and lightly bang the sheet tray two or three times, and then return to oven. Avoid pressing down on the cookies, as this will mess up the “crinkling” that happens while baking.)
