These cookies are Fantastic! Crushed lemon drop candies just make these cookies burst with flavor. This recipe makes quite a bit of cookies and half were inhaled by my family by the end of the day. The recipe orginated by a lady named Ann Orton who was trying to duplicate a recipe that she had had at a restaurant in Salt Lake City. I have no idea what the originals tasted like, but these cookies would be hard to beat. Ingredients:
2 cups sugar |
1 1/2 cups butter flavor crisco |
3 large eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
1 teaspoon lemon extract |
4 cups flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 finely chopped lemon, zest of |
1 (6 ounce) package lemon drop candies, crushed |
1 cup powdered sugar |
1 lemon, juice of |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. In mixing bowl cream sugar, shortening and eggs; add extracts.
3. Stir in dry ingredients, lemon zest and crushed lemon drops.
4. Roll into 1-inch balls, flatten slightly and bake on parchment-lined baking sheet for 10-12 minutes.
5. Note: Cooking spray works well too.
6. Let cool slightly on pan 1 to 2 minutes.
7. Make a glaze by mixing powdered sugar with lemon juice; then brush lightly over cookie tops. Let cookies cool completely.
