Ingredients
24 Servings
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 50 g powdered sugar
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 115 g unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 4
Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 6
Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them in the powdered sugar to coat thoroughly.
Step 7
Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are crackled.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
