Doodles

*Lemon Doodles original idea & photos from Mary Nell. I changed up the recipe and replaced the shortening with butter

Ingredients

1 c softened butter

1 1/2 c sugar

2  eggs

2 c flour

1 tsp soda

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

zest of one lemon

Directions

 

1. Cream together butter, eggs and sugar until creamy.

 

2. In a separate bowl mix together flour and all other dry ingredients.

 

3 Add dry ingredient to creamed mixture. Add the zest of a lemon and mix. (Set aside the lemon for later use.)

 

4 FOR LEMON SUGAR: In a small bowl mix granulated sugar and a few drops of lemon juice. Mix thoroughly.

5 Form dough into balls using a generous teaspoonful. Roll into lemon sugar to coat.

 

6 Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, watching carefully (ovens differ).

*** ADDITIONAL *** Switch out the lemon for orange zest and make Orange Doodles. YUM! The possibilities are endless! Add almond extract and bits of almonds.

Make it a great one!
