Description
These lemon pudding cookies are soft, sweet, and bursting with lemon flavor!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 TBSP milk
- 3 boxes of instant lemon pudding mix
- 1 TBSP lemon extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Powdered sugar, for rolling cookies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Add egg and sour cream, mixing until combined.
- Add milk, pudding mix, and lemon extract, mixing to combine well.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Roll dough out by rounded tablespoon, forming a ball in your hands. Roll the ball in powdered sugar and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, until just starting to turn golden-brown but still soft in the middle.
- Allow to cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a stronger lemon flavor, add more lemon extract or zest.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
