Lemon Sugar Cookies

Soft & chewy and the PERFECT warm weather treat! Easy to make and ready in no time!!

RECIPE:

(1/2 cup) light butter softened

1⅓ c flour

¾ c sugar sub- I used Allulose

1 Tbsp brown sugar sub- I use Sukron Gold

1 tsp vanilla

1 large egg yolk room temperature

2-3 Tbsp lemon zest

¼ tsp baking soda

½ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Whisk together to combine.
In a medium bowl, using a hand or standing mixer, cream the butter, brown sugar and 3/4c sugar until light and fluffy. (about 2-3 minutes or so). Add in egg, lemon zest and vanilla and beat until combined.
Slowly pour in the dry ingredients and beat just until combined--do not over mix. (Chill for about 30 minutes if desired.) Roll cookie dough into about 1 1/2 inch balls or scoop with a 1½ T cookie scoop and roll into the remaining 1/4 cup sugar (add sugar into a small bowl first.) and place about 2 inches apart on a parchment lined baking pan.
Bake 9-11 minutes. Allow to cool before eating.
Store in an air tight container or freeze.
