Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (about 1 lemon)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy.
  3. Add the egg, sourdough starter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the bowl, mixing until well incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
  6. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for better handling.
  7. Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough, roll into balls, and roll them in powdered sugar. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Notes

For chewier cookies, add an extra tablespoon of butter. Store in an airtight container for freshness.
