Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and 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 eggs one at a time, followed by the lemon juice and lemon zest, mixing well until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, ensuring no lumps remain; do not overmix.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Roll each cookie dough ball in powdered sugar, coating heavily.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, use a vegan butter alternative. Watch the cookies closely to avoid overbaking, keeping them soft in the center. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
