I have a recipe for sugar cookies that calls for 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract...?!
Answers: I'm cutting the recipe in half and don't have the lemon. Would this recipe come out ok without the lemon? Or should I drive into town for the lemon extract for only 1/4 teaspoon???
you should be okay, I cut stuff out like that all the time in recipies. 1/4 tsp isn't gonna make a difference and the vanilla will still give it the flavor it needs.
Dont add more vanilla it will be too strong.
It should be fine but maybe add 1/4 teas more of vanilla
it will be fine without it
It will taste quite different, but good anyway I'm sure. My family loves lemon extract in most of our cakes and cookies, because that's what Great-Grandmother used.
Leave it out. It just add a bit of flavor, but the cookies will be wonderful anyway.
If you have an orange, grate a tsp of zest and add it to the recipe. You can subsitute orange juice for the liquid in the recipe.
