Lemon Burst Crinkle Cookies

Step 1

In a large bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, oil, and eggs. Use a box grater to zest as much of the lemon peel as you can, and then reserve 2 tablespoons of lemon juice (or as much as you can). Stir the zest and juice into the bowl.

Step 2

Then, stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until a dough ball forms. Cover and chill for at least one hour or overnight.

Step 3

Divide into 12 balls and roll in powdered sugar. Place on a prepared baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 12-14 minutes until the edges just begin to brown. Remove to a cooling rack and allow to cool.
