Lemon Crisps

Lemon crisps anyone? A nice thin cookie that can be enjoyed with a warm cup of coffee, or a scoop of ice cream. They taste as good as they look!

This is my first time trying this recipe. I intended to make a thicker cookie, however, the cookies fell flat after I took them out of the oven. Everyone loved them as they were, so I decided not to modify the recipe. The dough is so good, I had to stop the kids from eating it all to make the cookies! They are also very quick to prepare and it only takes 6 minutes to bake them.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 2 sticks of butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon of lemon extract
• 1 (4) oz box of instant vanilla pudding mix

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° degrees.

Lightly grease a cookie sheet and set aside.

In a small bowl, add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, add the butter and sugar. Using a hand blender mix  the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.

Add the eggs and lemon extract. Mix until well blended.

Add the vanilla instant pudding mix and blend until all ingredients are combined.

Add the flour mixture and, using a spoon, stir until the flour is well blended.

Add the cookie dough to the prepared cookie sheet by measuring 1 teaspoonful of the dough and placing each teaspoonful 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet.

Bake for 6 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.

Remove the cookies from the oven and cool for five minutes and transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Enjoy!
