Lemon Snowball Cookies
Lemon Snowball Cookies are soft, round cookies flavored with fresh lemon zest and juice, rolled in powdered sugar after baking. Their texture is tender with a subtle citrus brightness, balanced by the buttery base and the sweet coating. Baked at a moderate temperature, they become slightly crisp on the outside while remaining light and delicate inside, making them suitable for tea time or dessert.
