Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg, then add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Chill the dough in the fridge for about 15 minutes for easier handling.
  7. Form the dough into balls, roll them in powdered sugar, and place them on a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden, then cool on a wire rack.

Notes

Chill the dough for best results and keep cookies in an airtight container to maintain softness.
