Description

These Lemon Cookies are soft, buttery, and bursting with tangy lemon flavor. Perfectly sweet with a light citrus zing, they’re ideal for tea parties, holiday trays, or any time you crave a bright and refreshing treat.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (about 1 lemon)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • Mix the dry ingredients:

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  • Cream the butter and sugar:

    • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

  • Add wet ingredients:

    • Mix in the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  • Combine wet and dry ingredients:

    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms. Do not overmix.

  • Roll the cookies:

    • Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar to coat thoroughly.

  • Bake:

    • Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops have slight cracks. Avoid overbaking for soft cookies.

  • Cool and serve:

    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Extra tang: For even more lemon flavor, drizzle the cooled cookies with a simple lemon glaze (mix powdered sugar with lemon juice).
  • Freezing: Freeze unbaked dough balls (without powdered sugar) for up to 3 months. Roll in powdered sugar just before baking.
