Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups (185g) powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 3/4 cups (230g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the butter mixture and mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  7. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and firm.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, enjoy these delightful lemon cookies with a crisp texture and tangy flavor!
  11. For a milder lemon flavor, you can reduce the amount of lemon zest and juice used in the recipe.
