Lemon Crinkle Cookies

I have been making crinkle cookies for some time now. And I chose to look for other flavours that are not typically used but simple to discover in the kitchen. So I chose to embark on lemon crinkle cookies. Here's the recipe for my Lemon Crinkle Cookies.

1 cup sugar/ 200grams

10 tablespoons butter/ 142 grams

4 tablespoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons lemon zest (lemon extract optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 cups flour/ 250 grams

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup powdered sugar/ 120 grams

INSTRUCTIONS
