Lemon Crinkle Cookies with Lemon Frosting
Report
These cookies have been all over the internet for a good reason. They are amazing. I had leftover frosting and decided to do a mashup. It is lemony heaven.

Ingredients
For the cookies:
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 whole egg
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest more! more!
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for rolling
For the frosting:
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1 & 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Zest from one large lemon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease light colored* baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. (Or just use parchment paper or silpats.)
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Whip in vanilla, egg, lemon zest, and juice. Scrape sides and mix again.
- Stir in the salt, baking powder, baking soda, and flour slowly until just combined.
- Scrape sides of bowl and mix again briefly.
- Pour powdered sugar onto a large plate. Roll a heaping teaspoon of dough into a ball and roll in powdered sugar. Place on baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until bottoms begin to barely brown and cookies look matte (not melty or shiny).
- Remove from oven and cool cookies about 3 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
For the frosting:
- Beat the butter until fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time.
- Add lemon juice and zest. Add more powdered sugar until icing is thick enough to be of good spreading consistency.
- Spread on top of cookies or on the bottom and sandwich them, once they are cool.
Notes
- *If using a non-stick darker baking tray, reduce baking time by about 2 minutes.
