RECIPE
Ingredients
- JUICE OF ONE LARGE LEMON
- 1 1/2 TSP. LEMON EXTRACT
- 1 TSP. VANILLA EXTRACT
- 1 CUP SHORTENING
- 2 CUPS SUGAR
- 1/2 TSP. SALT
- 3 LARGE EGGS
- 4 1/2 CUPS SELF-RISING FLOUR
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, add shortening & sugar and mix until fluffy. Add the extracts & lemon juice. Add salt, then add eggs one at a time. Finally, add flour and mix well.
- Drop on a greased cookie sheet or parchment-lined sheet by the tablespoon. (I use a cookie scoop, but if you do not have one, just roll them up in balls) and put them 1 1/2" apart on a sheet pan.
- Bake for 12 minutes for lighter cookies and 13-14 min. for darker cookies.
- Optional: Add the zest of a lemon and beat it into the butter. You can also put cookies in a gallon storage bag and shake in powdered sugar. Store in a sealed container.
“Warning: you won’t stop eating these until they are gone, but the upside is they are low in sugar.”- Tammy
