Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 24 pieces white chocolate Hershey's Kisses
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and coat each ball lightly in powdered sugar.
Step 7
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the cookies are just set and lightly golden around the edges.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven, and while they are still warm, gently press a white chocolate Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie.
Step 10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
