Delicious, soft and slightly chewy cookie with crisp edges and a nice lemon zing!
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)
1½ cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2¾ cups flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 to 3 tablespoons lemon zest
¼ cup of cinnamon sugar (1/4 cup sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon)
Instructions
With an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.
Slowly add the flour mixture to the electric mixer bowl until you get a nice smooth dough.
(Refrigerate the dough while the oven preheats.)
Preheat oven to 400F.
Roll out cookie balls and toss them in the cinnamon sugar to coat. Place them on a well greased cookie sheet and then slightly flatten them with your palm.
Bake for 8-10 minutes.
Let them cook on a baking rack, store in an airtight container.
