Creamy Lemon Sugar Cookies

Creamy Lemon Sugar Cookies
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon half-and-half
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda


  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets lightly.
  2. Combine 3 tablespoons white sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice together in a small bowl.
  3. Beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat egg yolks, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and vanilla extract into butter mixture. Add flour, half-and-half, and baking soda; stir until dough is just combined.
  4. Roll dough into walnut-size balls, coating each in the lemon sugar mixture and allowing excess to drip off. Place 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes more.
