Recipe Introduction


A flavorful twist on the traditional sugar cookie. People who find sugar cookies to be bland will like this one!




List of Ingredients




1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
sanding sugar (white or colored)



Recipe



In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Stir in flour, lemon juice, zest, baking powder and salt. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm. Preheat oven to 350 F. On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4" thickness. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Place on ungreased baking sheets and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Allow to cool 2 minutes and transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
