LEMON CRINKLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment until creamy. Beat in egg, vanilla extract, lemon extract, lemon zest and juice, and yellow food coloring. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix once more, making sure everything is combined. Add flour mixture and mix until just combined.

• Pour powdered sugar into a shallow bowl. Place flattened rounds in powdered sugar and cover until well coated. Remove with a fork or spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are no longer glossy and have a matte look, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

BELGIAN "LIEGE" SUGAR WAFFLES RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Equipment needed: Waffle Iron. I own a non-stick Belgian waffle, made in America which worked very well for this recipe. NOTE: Butter and eggs should be a room temperature for best results. Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm milk. Gradually add all the ingredients to the flour, except for the pearl sugar. (My stand mixer works great to do this.) Let the dough double in size (about 30 minutes). NOTE: I turn my oven on to WARM for a few minutes, then turn it off. I cover the dough in a bowl, and place it into the warm and cozy oven to help proof the dough. Once the dough has doubled (I let mine rise for an hour), gently place onto a smooth surface. Gently flatten the dough into a rectangle and add the pearl sugar. Fold the dough over, in thirds (my own technique to distribute the sugar throughout). Divide the dough into small patties, about 3-4 oz each. NOTE: To be more traditional, Liege waffles are shaped into a rectangle. You can wrap each patty in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. To make the waffles, bring them to room temperature for 30-60 minutes (or, I used my pre-WARMED oven trick and that did the job! To prepare: Bake in a greased and heated waffle iron. Be very careful, as the sugar will caramelize and be extremely hot. Allow them to cook for a few minutes, before biting into them. The texture is dense and moist-- and the caramelized sugar is so good that I cannot image adding anything else to them! RECIPE SOURCE: Lars Own Belgian Pearl Sugar Box Recipe on the back.
