Ingredients
Ingredients
1
cup
unsalted butter, softened
1
cup
granulated sugar
2
large
eggs
2
teaspoons
vanilla extract
2
tablespoons
lemon zest
(about 1 lemon)
2
tablespoons
fresh lemon juice
2.5
cups
all-purpose flour
1
teaspoon
baking powder
0.5
teaspoon
salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Mix in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For an extra lemony kick, drizzle with a simple lemon glaze made of powdered sugar and lemon juice.
