How to Make Lemon Crisps
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of shortening and 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons lemon zest, and 2 large eggs until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Place the dough balls onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Gently flatten each ball with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
