Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until creamy and light in color.
  4. Mix in the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Scoop tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. Chilling the dough can help prevent spreading during baking.
