Description
A thin, delicate, buttery sugar cookie with a hint of lemon and a sprinkle of sparkling sugar on top.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3/4 cup butter softened
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon butter flavoring (sold by other flavor extracts)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- zest of one lemon
- sparkling sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cornstarch and set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar on medium speed.
- Add egg and egg yolk and mix until well incorporated. Add vanilla extract, butter flavoring, lemon juice, and zest and mix.
- Turn speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
- I used my 1 1/2 tablespoon size scoop to make 24 dough balls. Dip the top of each dough ball in sparkling sugar and placed them 9 at a time on Silpat lined baking sheet. These cookies will spread when baking.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes. Cool on a cooling rack.
