I just find the sugar cookie recipes a bit too rich for my taste, so I modified them by adding some lemon.
Ingredients
Frosting
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Cookies
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup sugar (Optional)
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 cups flour
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup white sugar, or as needed (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Beat butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add 1 cup sugar, vegetables oil, lemon juice, and vanilla extract; mix to combine. Add egg and mix until thoroughly incorporated.
Step 3
Sift together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Add flour mixture to the butter mixture; mix until well combined.
Step 4
Pour 1/4 cup sugar into a small bowl. Form dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball into sugar to coat and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven, transfer to a wire rack and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Step 6
Mix together powdered sugar and lemon juice for the frosting in a small bowl until smooth. Pour frosting over cookies and allow to harden for at least 5 minutes before serving.
