Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional but add great flavor)
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons lemon extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Method
- In a medium bowl, cream together butter and 1 cup sugar and lemon zest if use until light and fluffy.
- Beat in egg, corn syrup, and lemon extract.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Cover dough, and chill in the refrigerator at least 1 hour. (Very important).
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll chilled dough into walnut sized balls. Roll balls in remaining sugar, and place on the prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned. (Time depends on your oven. My girlfriend's oven only requires 10 minutes.).
- Note: You can choose to skip rolling the cookies into the sugar. Instead, you can dust the cooled cookies into powder sugar.
- Note: I have also rolled them in decorator 's sugar in variety of colors and they were very pretty.
