Luscious Lemon Snaps recipe

4 servings

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups white sugar

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons lemon zest

3/4 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F ( 175 degrees C ).

Grease cookie sheets.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.

Make a well in the center and fill it with the oil, lemon juice, and vanilla.

Stir everything together until it forms a dough.

Alternate method: Put everything into the food processor and blend until dough forms.

Drop cookie dough by teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, onto the prepared cookie sheet.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven.

Edges should be golden brown.

For a softer cookie, bake for only 7 minutes.

Cool on racks, and store in an airtight container.
