Print Recipe

Soft, pillowy cookies with a burst of tangy lemon flavor, balanced by a hint of sweetness, and a delightful powdered sugar crinkle texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar for coating

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs, one at a time, followed by fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, roll the dough into balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  8. Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar until fully coated.
  9. Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Chill the dough to prevent spreading and enhance flavor.’, ‘Use fresh lemons for the best flavor.’, ‘Sift powdered sugar if it looks clumpy for a smooth finish.’, ‘Monitor baking time to keep cookies soft and chewy.’]
