Lemon Crinkle Cookies

Say hello to my new favorite lemon cookie!

I have three other lemon cookie recipes and this one is my new favorite. It has a light lemon taste and it bakes up so moist. If you like the taste of lemon, you've gotta try this recipe. It won the LDS Living cookie cook off contest.

2 sticks (1 cup) butter

2 cups sugar

*Cream these two ingredients together until light colored and fluffy.

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 teaspoon lemon zest

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

*Add to butter/sugar mixture and beat in well

3 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

*Add to mixture until just combined

1 cup powdered sugar - in a separate bowl

*Roll dough into 2 inch balls, then roll the dough ball in the powdered sugar. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake on 350 degrees for about 9 - 11 minutes.

Makes about 3 dozen cookies
