Lemon Crinkle Cookies

2/24/2017

 Hello!

     I don't know about you or where you live, but here in Tweed, it's been feeling more like spring this week. It's actually raining right now....which is just yucky and miserable, but the spring makes me want something bright, light, and palate cleansing as a treat. Am I the only one? We spend the cold winter months eating comfort foods, then when it feels like the warmer weather is approaching we feel the need to switch it up? Maybe it's just me? I know I would, and have, eaten these cookies any time of the year, but they feel particularly "springy" to me because of the refreshing lemony-ness of them. 

    This recipe is one I've been using for a while now, but I made some changes, basically because I needed it to reflect what I usually have on hand. The original recipe is from a blog I frequent, Lauren's Latest. She's shares about home, travel, family, and she's got some wonderful, delicious and simple recipes (one of my favourites is her copy-cat Cinnabon cinnamon rolls! They are sooooooooo good!!!). 
 
   Anyway, I'm keeping this short and sweet....and sour? Get it? Lemons? Sour? Hardy har-har, I know, I'm funny. : )

Lemon Crinkle Cookies
Adapted from Lauren's Latest Lemon Crinkle Cookies

Ingredients:
  • 1-½ Cups flour
  • ¼ Tsp salt
  • 1/2 Tsp + 1 finger pinches worth baking powder (or an additional  ⅛ tsp if you've got that tiny measurement!) 
  • ½ Cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 Cup sugar
  • 1 Drop yellow food colouring (optional)
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Tbsp. lemon Juice
  • ½ Cups icing (powdered) sugar
​
Method:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, or lightly grease and set aside
  2. .In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder, then set aside
  3. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer or your muscles, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
  4. Now add in your egg and lemon juice and mix together well. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as you mix to make sure you've got that egg well incorporated!
  5. Add in the dry ingredients you mixed together in the small bowl, and gently stir until just combined. Scrape down sides of bowl, and mix once more
  6. Grab a large plate, or bowl with a large, flat bottom, and pour the icing sugar onto/into it
  7. Using a scoop, or a spoon, scoop out a heaping teaspoon of the cookie dough and roll it into a nice little ball, then roll that nice little ball in your icing sugar! Place the sugary ball of dough onto your prepared baking sheet and repeat this step until you've used up all your dough! 
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until bottoms begin to just barely get brown, and cookies look matte {not melty or shiny}
  9. Remove from oven and cool cookies about 3 minutes before transferring to cooling rack

​   So lovely looking, right? They are just delightful, soft on the inside, lightly crisp on the outside, and so refreshing! Well, as "refreshing" as a cookie can be, I guess! Haha! 

   Have a great weekend friends!
