Lemon Crinkle Cookies

Some friends of our recently had an adorable baby boy, so last week I took them a homemade meal.  On my friends Pinterest, I found this recipe for Lemon Crinkle Cookies so I made them for her.  I'm not a lemon person, but these are so good! Absolutely perfect summer cookie!

Lemon Crinkle Cookies

Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 tsp lemon zest
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups flour
powdered sugar to roll

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cream together butter and sugar.  Whip in vanilla, egg, zest, and juice.  Scrape down sides of the bowl.  Add in dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Roll dough into balls and roll in powdered sugar.  (Add lemon zest to the top if you like!)
Bake for 9-11 minutes, until cookie has "crinkled".



Enjoy!
