Lemon Sugar Cookies Recipe
Description
Lemon Sugar Cookies combine butter, sugar, egg, flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla, and fresh lemon zest and juice. After creaming and mixing, the dough rests for a few minutes so the lemon flavor fully develops. Each dough ball is rolled in lemon sugar for a tangy coating before baking at 350ºF until lightly browned.
The result is a cookie with a delicate crumb and noticeable lemon essence, complemented by a sugary crust that enhances texture. The flavored sugar adds a subtle contrast to the soft center.
These cookies are suited as a citrusy treat alongside tea or coffee and offer a refreshing twist on classic sugar cookies. The recipe yields a batch enough for sharing or multiple occasions.
