How to Make Lemon Crinkle Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then fold in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into your wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Roll tablespoon-sized portions of dough into balls and coat them generously in powdered sugar.
  7. Place dough balls on the prepared baking sheets about two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  9. Dust with an extra sprinkle of powdered sugar for a stunning presentation.
