Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 90 grams powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 280 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 120 grams extra powdered sugar for coating
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together using a handheld or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out small portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the bottoms are just golden. Be careful not to overbake as you want the cookies to remain soft and tender.
Step 8
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once the cookies are completely cool, roll them generously in the extra powdered sugar to coat them completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy your Lemon Snowdrop Cookies with a cup of tea or as a delightful dessert!
