Ingredients

Servings
  • Cookies:
  • 2 sticks 1 cup; 224 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar 288 g
  • lemon zest of 1/2
  • 1 egg large
  • 1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract 6 mL
  • 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour White Lily brand, 270 g, or pastry flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • Lemon Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar 120 g
  • 2-3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 vanilla extract 1 mL teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, press sugar and lemon zest with a spatula to infuse the sugar with lemon. Cream sugar and butter together with a whisk or electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add egg and vanilla to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
  4. Add baking powder, salt, and flour and mix with a spoon or spatula until flour is just combined fully (no unincorporated flour) and barely tacky. Use a cookie scoop to scoop out batter and put onto the parchment paper/baking mat, about 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove. Let cool for 5 minutes on the pan and 10 on a wire rack.
  6. Whisk together glaze ingredients in a small bowl and spoon over cooled cookies.
  7. Keep in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days.
