Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lemon zest
¾ cup vegetable oil
½ cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 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.
