Crisp Lemon Sugar Cookies
A sweet treat that's crispy, rather than chewy like other sugar cookies
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp lemon extract
- 2 cups flour
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- extra white sugar
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, cream butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, milk and extracts. Combine flour, salt and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture.
Shape into 1-inch balls or drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with a glass dipped in sugar.
Bake in preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Immediately remove to wire racks to cool. Makes about 6 1/2 dozen cookies. Enjoy!
