Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 2 cups Original Bisquick baking mix
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Butter, softened
  • 1 Large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Finely grated lemon zest
Optional Finish
  • 1/2 cup Powdered sugar

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg, fresh lemon juice, and finely grated lemon zest.
  3. Stir in the Original Bisquick baking mix just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix; if desired, chill the dough for 15 to 20 minutes to make it easier to handle.
  4. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
  5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are set and just lightly golden while the centers still look slightly soft.
  6. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a rack. Dust with powdered sugar, or finish with a simple lemon glaze if desired.

Notes

Use fresh lemon zest as well as juice because the zest provides concentrated lemon aroma. Avoid overbaking, since Bisquick-based cookies firm as they cool. For a glaze, combine powdered sugar with a small amount of lemon juice until smooth and drizzle over cooled cookies.
