Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out dough and roll it into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them an inch apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; that’s okay!
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
