Time 1h35m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 drop yellow food coloring, or as desired
¾ cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment until creamy. Beat in egg, vanilla extract, lemon extract, lemon zest and juice, and yellow food coloring. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix once more, making sure everything is combined. Add flour mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Cover bowl and refrigerate cookie dough for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Scoop dough using a cookie scoop or spoon into roughly 1 1/2-inch rounds. Slightly flatten cookies to 1/2-inch thickness.
  • Pour powdered sugar into a shallow bowl. Place flattened rounds in powdered sugar and cover until well coated. Remove with a fork or spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are no longer glossy and have a matte look, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Provided by Elyse Ellis

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup butter (softened)
1 cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 whole egg
1 teaspoon lemon zest ((I didn't add this because I didn't have a lemon and they were still perfect!))
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease light colored baking sheets with non stick cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Whip in vanilla, egg, lemon zest and juice. Scrape sides and mix again. Stir in all dry ingredients slowly until just combined, excluding the powdered sugar. Scrape sides of bowl and mix again briefly.
  • Pour powdered sugar onto a large plate. Roll a heaping teaspoon of dough into a ball and roll in powdered sugar. Place on baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until bottoms begin to barely brown and cookies look matte {not melty or shiny}. Remove from oven and cool cookies about 3 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. If using a non stick darker baking tray, reduce baking time by about 2 minutes.
