SOFT LEMON COOKIES FROM SCRATCH



Soft Lemon Cookies from Scratch image

These delicious cookies have a kick of lemon flavor, and they're made from scratch rather than a box mix like the majority of recipes out there. This recipe was created because I absolutely love lemon-flavored desserts, but have an allergy to artificial colorants and dyes used in food. Following this recipe as written, you can take comfort in knowing you're not feeding your children any artificial colorings.

Time 50m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 14

cooking spray
1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons powdered sugar for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
