Add Egg and Flavorings: Add the egg, lemon extract, and yellow food coloring to the creamed mixture, and mix well until thoroughly combined.
-
Gradually Beat in Evaporated Milk: Gradually beat in the evaporated milk until well incorporated into the mixture.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the baking powder, baking soda, and flour to the mixture. Beat at low speed, scraping the sides of the bowl often, until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated and a smooth dough forms.
-
Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes. Chilling the dough helps it firm up and makes it easier to handle.
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease a cookie sheet.
-
Shape the Cookies: Using wet hands, shape the chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar until coated evenly.
-
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated dough balls onto the greased cookie sheet, spacing them about two inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cookies immediately from the baking sheet and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delightful Lemon Crinkles Cookies with a glass of cold milk or a cup of your favorite hot beverage!
