Luscious Lemon Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Cream sugar, butter, and lemon zest together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Combine eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a cup; mix using a fork until combined. Beat into egg mixture slowly on low speed.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add to egg mixture slowly on low speed until just combined. Do not overbeat; dough will be sticky. Cover and chill dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes; it will still be sticky after chilling.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Form dough into balls using a cookie scoop or tablespoon and roll each in powdered sugar. Place onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Lightly smash each ball down using your hand.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the middle of each cookie is just barely set, 11 to 12 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack completely before storing in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F ( 175 degrees C ). Grease cookie sheets.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest. Make a well in the center and fill it with the oil, lemon juice, and vanilla. Stir everything together until it forms a dough. Alternate method: Put everything into the food processor and blend until dough forms.
• Drop cookie dough by teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, onto the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Edges should be golden brown. For a softer cookie, bake for only 7 minutes. Cool on racks, and store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Put all ingredients into a blender and process until smooth.
• Shape into cookies and place on mesh dehydrator sheets.
• Dehydrate at 105 -115F for 8-10 hours, or until outside is dry and the cookie is chewy.
• NOTE: If you're not using a high-speed blender, blend the cashews first before adding the other ingredients. "Finely grind them".

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients (except the reserved pie filling & powdered sugar).
• Drop by tablespoon onto a non-stick cookie sheet.
• Bake at 350°F for 10 - 12 minutes or until done.
• Bottoms of the cookies should not get too dark--light brown is good.
• Let cookies cool completely.
• Mix powdered sugar with enough lemon pie filling to make icing yellow, or do like I do and add some yellow food coloring, then spread over the cooled cookie.
• ENJOY!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.
• To prepare the dough:
• In a medium-sized bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fully. Add the egg, vanilla, baking powder, salt, lemon oil, and lemon powder, beating on medium speed until well blended. Add the flour and coconut, beating until thoroughly combined. Use food color to tint the cookies yellow. Gel-paste food color will give the most intense color; be aware that with paste colors, you only need to add the merest touch. Dip a toothpick in the color, and then dip it into the dough. Repeat a couple of times. Mix the dough, adding more color until it's as intense as you like.
• To shape the cookies: Place the coarse sugar in a small bowl. Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls into the bowl, one at a time, shaking the bowl to coat with sugar. Gently roll cookies into smooth balls with your hands, then transfer to the prepared baking sheets.
• To bake the cookies: Bake the cookies for 9 to 10 minutes, for soft cookies. For crunchier cookies, bake for 12 minutes, until they're barely beginning to brown around the edges. Remove from the oven, and after a few minutes transfer them to a rack to cool.
• Variation: You can make these cookies using fresh lemons instead of lemon powder and lemon oil (though they won't be nearly as intensely citrus-y). Substitute 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (the juice of one medium-large lemon), and the grated rind from one lemon. You may also omit the coconut and/or food coloring, if you like. Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, until they feel barely set in the center (for softer cookies); or 14 minutes (for crisper cookies).

Steps:

• combine softened butter with cake mix, eggs, lemon juice and zest - dough will be sticky - chill at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 - roll dough by teaspoon full into small balls - roll in sugar - place on ungreased cookie sheet - flatten slightly with a small glass.
• Bake approximately 5 minutes - remove to cooling racks.
• Prepare glaze with powdered sugar and enough lemon juice to make it glaze consistency - drizzle over cookies - the glaze will harden when cooled.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Cream butter and sugar.
• Add lemon zest, eggs and extract.
• Stir in flour and baking powder.
• Add nuts and coconut.
• Shape into 1 1/2" balls.
• Roll in powdered sugar and place on greased cookie sheets.
• Bake for 18 minutes until the edges are set.
• Cool a minute or two on cookie sheets, and remove to wire rack, and sprinkle powdered sugar over the tops as cookies continue to cool.
