Lemon Crinkle Cookies

Is it possible to have a crinkle cookie obsession? This time around, I am here to share a citrusy version: Lemon Crinkle Cookies!

My mom absolutely loves all things citrus, so I try to create new lemon treats for her each Mother’s Day.

These Lemon Crinkle Cookies pack a lemony punch, balanced nicely with the sweetness of the powdered sugar.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • the juice and zest of one lemon
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract (can substitute vanilla extract)
  • 2 teaspoons lemon extract
  • 4 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups confectioner’s sugar
