More wafer-like, these sugary-lemon cookies are substantial for afternoon tea or a stroll..
For Cookies:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup all-vegetable shortening
1 large egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. lemon extract
1/8 tsp. salt (kosher or table)
1–1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1–1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. water
For Lemon-Sugar Coating:
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. unsweetened lemonade drink-mix powder
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line 1-2 baking sheets with parchment paper or grease with non-stick spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine powdered and granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, lemon extract, and salt.
Add all-purpose flour and baking powder until just mixed. Add 1 tbsp. water and combine until dough forms a ball.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls (about a #50 disher). Flatten slightly with a flat-bottomed glass. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until cookies are light brown.
Combine powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp. lemonade drink-mix powder in a gallon-size, zip top bag. When cookies are removed from the oven and still hot, place 4 to 5 of them into bag. Shake to cover. Place on parchment paper. Repeat with remaining cookies. Repeat with cookies on sheet when done for double-coating. Allow to cool on baking sheets. Store in an air-tight container for up to 1 week.
