Sugar Crinkles Recipe

Name: Sugar Crinkles
Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 24 servings
Ingredients: 2.5 cups all purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 2 eggs; 1 teaspoon lemon extract; 0.25 teaspoon salt; 1 cup shortening; 1 inch extra sugar to roll; 5 tablespoons sugar; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

These sugar crinkles are a classic for a reason: a soft, chewy cookie with a crisp, sugary exterior. The dough comes together quickly with an electric mixer, combining shortening, sugar, eggs, and a hint of lemon and vanilla. After a short chill, you roll them in extra sugar before baking, which gives them their signature crinkled texture. They bake up in just over ten minutes, making them a great option when you want a fresh batch of cookies without too much fuss.
