Chewy Lemon Cookies

We love lemon. And we loved these cookies. They are chewy, sweet, not overwhelmingly lemon but just a hint so you know it's there, yummy cookies. And the best part....?

There are no eggs in this recipe. Do you know what that means?? You can eat the dough!! And let me tell ya, it's DELICIOUS!

These were a nice little spring recipe with the honey and citrus. You've gotta try 'em!

What you need:

1 3/4 Cups Flour

Pinch of Salt

8 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter

Zest from 2 Lemons

2/3 Cup Sugar

2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice

1/4 Cup Honey

1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1 Cup Powdered Sugar, for Coating

What to do:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper OR spray well with non stick cooking spray. Either way works. In a medium sized bowl whisk together flour and salt. Set to the side.

2. With an electric mixer, cream together butter, lemon zest, sugar, and honey. Mix until very smooth. 

3. In a small cup, combine the lemon juice and baking soda. With the mixer on low, add in the flour mixture and lemon juice mixture. Be sure it is well mixed, you may have to do some by hand.

4. Roll the dough into balls, about 1-inch or so. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, less if you would like them a little more gooey. That's how we wanted the second batch and loved them a little gooey-er : ). Let them cool for a few minutes and coat in powdered sugar.
