Chewy Lemon Cookies
Ingredients
1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp lemon extract
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest optional
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cornstarch
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar for rolling dough in before baking
Glaze: (optional)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar together, then add eggs, vanilla & lemon extract, lemon juice, & lemon zest.
Next mix in your dry ingredients until incorporated.
This dough will be very soft and sticky, so it will need to chill in the freezer for 30 minutes, or in the fridge for several hours until firm. *If you don't want to wait to chill the dough, and it is too sticky to roll, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until dough can be rolled easily.*
Once the dough is firm and no longer sticks to your fingers, roll about 1 tbsp of dough into ball, and then roll in powdered sugar, and bake for 11 to 12 minutes at 350.
I bake mine for about 12 minutes, until the cookies are barely shiny.
While the cookies are baking, mix the glaze ingredients together and once the cookies have cooled, pour over or dip the top side of the cookies into the icing. Once the icing sets, the cookies can be stacked.
