Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup powdered sugar, for rolling

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugar:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add Eggs and Flavorings:
    • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  • Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Form the Dough Balls:
    • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar until fully coated.
  • Bake the Cookies:
    • 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 have crinkled on top. Be careful not to overbake.
  • Cool the Cookies:
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
