Ingredients

Scale
  1. 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  3. ½ teaspoon baking soda
  4. ¼ teaspoon salt
  5. ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  6. 1 cup granulated sugar
  7. 2 large eggs
  8. 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  9. 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  10. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  11. ½ cup powdered sugar, for rolling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar, ensuring they are generously coated.
  • Place the 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 cookies appear crinkled on top. Do not overbake.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra lemon flavor, you can add more zest or use a bit of lemon extract in the dough.
  • These cookies freeze well for up to 2-3 months—just store them in an airtight container.
