Pantry. Dennis sells raspberry chips now, too, so I would
add 1 c. to the recipe below.
Crackle Top Lemon Cookies
These are fun little cookies. And if you like lemon, these
are great cookies. They are crackly on the outside—from the
sugar crystals—and chewy on the inside. They are pretty
enough to give as gifts and easy to make.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
a few drops of lemon extract
1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped
yellow decorating sugar
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
1. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set
aside.
2. Cream the butter and sugar together. Add half the lemon
juice, the zest, and the extract. Beat until nearly
combined. Add half the flour mixture and the nuts and beat
again. Add the rest of the lemon juice and the rest of the
flour mixture and beat until combined. You may need to knead
these together to form a consistent dough. Do not over mix.
3. Place the decorating sugar in a shallow bowl. If you do
not have yellow sugar, use white or add a drop of yellow
food coloring to your white sugar. You may also use
turbinado sugar. Form balls the size of walnuts and roll
them in the sugar. Place the balls on an ungreased but
nonstick pan or on parchment paper. Bake for 15 or 16
minutes or until they are nearly firm. Remove them from the
oven and let them cool for two minutes on the pan and then
on a rack until completely cool. The Prepared Pantry Chris
