A great holiday tradition and easy to make! When life gives you lemons, make some lemon drop cookies!
You'll need 9 ingredients for this recipe!
Ingredients Needed:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon extract
2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Glaze:
2-3 cups confectioner's sugar
1/4-1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon lemon extract
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F
For this batch, I doubled the original ingredients to make more. The measurements above should make about 2 dozen cookies.
In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and butter. Add eggs and lemon extract and beat well. Slowly add your flour mixture, continuing to beat your dough mixture. Place in fridge to chill until dough becomes firm.
The original recipe recommended using a cookie scoop, but I don't have one, so I used my hands to roll the dough into small balls. You will need to have some flour ready to coat your hands with. I laid out wax paper and spread flour across it so that I could just lay my hands in the flour when needed.
Spread out your cookie dough on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until firm and lightly brown.
Remove from oven and from tray. Let cool completely. Remember I doubled my batch this time, so you won't have this many cookies unless you also double your batch. :)
Mix your glaze ingredients. You may need to adjust your measurements. I discovered that the original water measurement wasn't enough water to get a smooth consistency.
Dip your cookies into the glaze and then immediately sprinkle! The glaze sets quickly and I was only able to get a few cookies sprinkled.
