Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Beat in the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well-blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
- Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in powdered sugar to coat.
Baking
- Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and the tops have cracked.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can freeze the cookies for up to three months. To enjoy frozen cookies, let them thaw at room temperature for 15-20 minutes or warm in a 300°F oven for a few minutes.
