Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 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 flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Beat in the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
Step 7
Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the tops are slightly cracked. Do not overbake—cookies should remain soft and chewy.
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
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy your zesty lemon cookies!
