Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus more for dusting
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 large egg
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, salt, and baking powder.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter until creamy and light in color, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls about 1 inch in diameter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
