Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 120 grams powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 60 grams cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.
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 on low speed just until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Using a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon, portion out the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 7
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden. The tops should remain pale.
Step 8
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once the cookies are fully cooled, sift the extra powdered sugar over them for a snowy finish.
Step 10
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days to enjoy later.
