Lemon Crinkles

Ingredients:

3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl until thoroughly combined.  In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy, about 5 minutes.  Next, beat in the eggs, one at a time, incorporating each before adding the next.  Beat in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla.  Gently mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated.  Chill the dough about 30 minutes.

Form dough into balls and roll in powdered sugar.  Place the balls onto baking sheets about 2 inches apart. 

Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are set and just beginning to brown at the edges, about 8 minutes.  Cool on baking sheets for 1 minute before removing to finish cooling on racks.
