Three lemon cooler cookies on a white plate.

Lemon Cooler Cookies

These crinkle-topped cookies boast a tart lemon taste as well as a hint of vanilla.
Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:8 minutes
Total Time:23 minutes
Servings:36 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • teaspoon baking soda
  • cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set them aside. Add the confectioners’ sugar to a large bowl and set aside.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until fluffy and light. Mix in the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the salt, baking powder, baking soda, and flour, and then slowly transfer this mixture into the wet mixture while mixing until the dough is well combined.
  • Use your hands to divide the cookie dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the bowl of confectioners’ sugar and then place them onto the prepared cookie sheets about 2 inches apart from each other.
  • Bake for about 8 minutes. Watch them closely and remove them from the oven as soon as they just barely start to brown.
  • Transfer them to a cooling rack to let them cool. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • I recommend doubling the recipe to make an extra batch. These cookies just disappear too fast!
  • Swap the lemon for lime or orange to make another kind of citrus cookie.
  • If the dough is really sticky you can refrigerate it for an hour.
