Lemonhead Cookies Food

LEMONHEAD COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl combine the salt, flour, and baking soda. Set aside.
• 2. In a medium sized bowl cream softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• 3. Add in egg, lemon extract, and vanilla. Beat until incorporated. NOTE: Adjust the amount of lemon extract to your liking. The vanilla in this recipe is optional but I like the flavor of vanilla and lemon together.
• 4. Add the crushed lemon heads to the butter/sugar mixture and combine.
• 5. Add the flour mixture to the butter/sugar/lemon head mixture and combine. (The dough may be a bit stiff)
• 6. Form into 1 tablespoon sized balls and place on a cookie sheet. Flatten the cookies slightly.
