Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough for each cookie and roll into balls.

Step 7

Roll each ball in the powdered sugar until fully coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your delicious lemon cookies with a cup of tea or as a delightful treat on their own!
