Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup butter softened
  • 1 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon butter flavoring (sold by other flavor extracts)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • zest of one lemon
  • sparkling sugar

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cornstarch and set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar on medium speed.
  • Add egg and egg yolk and mix until well incorporated. Add vanilla extract, butter flavoring, lemon juice, and zest and mix.
  • Turn speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
  • I used my 1 1/2 tablespoon size scoop to make 24 dough balls. Dip the top of each dough ball in sparkling sugar and placed them 9 at a time on Silpat lined baking sheet. These cookies will spread when baking.
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes. Cool on a cooling rack.
