These are super soft, super yummy lemon cookies. The vanilla pudding mix gives it a very nice, sweet lemon flavor.
Ingredients:
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
3.4 oz lemon pudding mix
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 to 3 cups of flour
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease the cookie sheet(s).
2. Mix together eggs, butter, shortening, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and both sugars.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together pudding mix, flour, baking power, baking soda, and salt.
4. Carefully add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients 1 cup at a time.
5. I use a 1tbs measuring spoon to scoop the dough and place it on the greased baking sheet then repeat with the rest of the dough.
6. Bake the cookies for 8-9 minutes. Let the cookies sit on the cookie sheet for 3 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
