Lemon Crinkle Cookies with Lemon Frosting Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the light butter and granulated sugar substitute until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll into balls.
- Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar until fully coated and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are crinkled and slightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the lemon frosting, whisk together the powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest in a medium bowl. If the frosting is too thick, add almond milk, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of lemon frosting on top of each one.
- Let the frosting set for a few minutes before serving.
