Lemonhead Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl combine the salt, flour, and baking soda. Set aside.
• 2. In a medium sized bowl cream softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• 3. Add in egg, lemon extract, and vanilla. Beat until incorporated. NOTE: Adjust the amount of lemon extract to your liking. The vanilla in this recipe is optional but I like the flavor of vanilla and lemon together.
• 4. Add the crushed lemon heads to the butter/sugar mixture and combine.
• 5. Add the flour mixture to the butter/sugar/lemon head mixture and combine. (The dough may be a bit stiff)
• 6. Form into 1 tablespoon sized balls and place on a cookie sheet. Flatten the cookies slightly.
• 7. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and lemon juice and beat until combined. With mixer on low, beat in flour mixture.
• Drop dough by heaping tablespoons, 1 inch apart, onto two baking sheets. Bake until edges are golden, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cool 2 minutes on sheets, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Spread cookies with Lemon Glaze and let set, about 1 hour.
