For Sabres game night and MLB opening night, I made 2 treats – lemon frosted lemon brownies wuth crushed lemon oreos…and these lemon cookies with crushed lemon oreos and lemon frosted I am a huge fan of adding crushed cookies to cookie dough…. so when I saw these lemon oreos, I bought them and knew I could add them to a  lemon cookies recipe. 

I used a mix of cake flour and all purpose flour in these, but you can use entirely all purpose flour if you want.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Chill the dough a few hours before baking.  And, preheat your oven before baking

• Ingredients list
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup brown sugar,  firmly packed into measuring cup
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 tsp lemon extract
• 2 tbs lemon juice (I used bottled)
• 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1 cup cake flour
• 1 tbs cornstarch
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 16 lemon oreos, finely crushed

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Add egg, yolk, extract and lemon juice.  Blend in dry ingredients.   Mix in crushed oreos.   If dough seems a little dry, add a tbs or 2 of water.   Evenly divide dough into 10 tall mounds. 

Chill a few hours.  When ready to bake, preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.   Stagger cookies on sheet.

Bake 9 to 11 minutes, no longer.   Cool completely. 

If you want, you can frost these.  Store in covered container. 

• Frosting ingredients list
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tbs lemon juice

Combine these ingredients in a bowl.  If frosting seems too thick, you could add a tsp or 2 of water. Frost cookies.
