Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Light brown sugar (packed)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 0.75 cups Powdered sugar (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats for easy cleanup.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough and roll it into balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar until fully coated, and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops have slight cracks. The centers should still appear soft.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the cookies slightly warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
