Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Cream the butter and sugar in your stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes then add in the lemon zest, vanilla, egg and lemon juice and combine fully.
  2. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together then add it to the stand mixer on medium speed and mix until just combined.
  3. Wrap the dough in saran wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours (preferably overnight), then when you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  4. Using a tablespoon scoop, drop tablespoon amounts into powdered sugar and roll until well covered then place onto a cookie sheet.
  5. Bake for 9-11 minutes, do not brown the cookies, they'll be soft when they come out and harden as they cool.
