- 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour 358 grams
- 1 teaspoon baking soda 6 grams
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 2 grams
- 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 grams
- 1 cup European style salted butter 8 ounces, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups white granulated sugar 300 grams
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 teaspoon LorAnn Princess Cake & Cookie Bakery Emulsion
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice 7 grams
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 teaspoon white vinegar
- Extra sugar for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg, Princess emulsion and juice. Gradually blend in dry ingredients.

- Sprinkle the top of the cookies with extra granulated sugar or sprinkles.
