High-Contrast Lemon Cardamom Crinkle Cookies are delightful treats that combine the zesty flavor of lemon with the warm spice of cardamom, resulting in a shatter-crisp texture that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar for coating

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and ground cardamom to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  7. Once chilled, scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
  8. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
  9. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops are crinkled.
  11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a stronger lemon flavor, increase the lemon zest and juice.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
