Hi Emilie, here's my version. This is the doubled version. I am making them again later today. I'd go back to 2 TBS. lemon zest if you skip the lemon powder. The original link is below so you can compare. Please let me know how you like them.
LEMON CRINKLES
This recipe was adapted from the one in the link below. I like really lemony cookies so I added the lemon powder, oil and Fiori di Italia. You can roll the balls in powdered sugar instead of the lemon powder and gold sugar combo I use.
5 stars - Really good very lemony and not overly sweet. Did not them dip in powdered sugar, but used lemon powder-sanding sugar combo to lightly sprinkle.
Oven Temperature: 350°F
Servings: 24 Yield: 4-5 dozen
Preparation Time: 34 minutes Cooking Time: 11 minutes Inactive Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 1 hour
8 oz unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
2 TBS. lemon powder, divided
1/2 tsp. Fiori di Sicilia
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 extra large eggs
1 TBS. lemon zest
1/2 tsp. lemon oil
2 TBS. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. table salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 TBS. gold fine sugar
Preheat oven to 350° F. degrees. Put parchment on 4 baking sheets or grease light colored baking sheets with non stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar, and 1 TBS. lemon powder together until light and fluffy. Whip in vanilla, lemon oil, Fiori di Italia and eggs, lemon zest and juice. Scrape sides and mix again. Stir in all dry ingredients slowly until just combined. Scrape sides of bowl and mix again briefly.
Pour remaining TBS. lemon powder and gold sugar into a shallow bowl. Use a #60 (pink) disher (or heaping tsps.) and place ball in bowl. Pick up and place on baking sheet sugar side up and repeat with remaining dough.
Bake for 9-11 minutes or until bottoms begin to barely brown and cookies look matte {not melty or shiny}. Remove from oven and cool cookies about 3 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. Place in airtight tin when cool.
If using a non stick darker baking tray, reduce baking time by about 2 minutes.
