Bursting with lemon flavor, these two-bite cookies are slightly crisp on the outside, light and soft on the inside. Cream cheese and plenty of lemon zest make these cookies perfectly refreshing!

Time 1h30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ cups white sugar
1 large lemon, zested
¼ cup butter, softened
¼ cup cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Combine sugar and lemon zest in a food processor and pulse several times to bruise lemon zest. Transfer 1/2 cup sugar mixture to a bowl.
  • Beat butter and cream cheese in a mixing bowl until creamy and well-combined; mix in remaining lemon-sugar mixture, egg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to beat baking powder and salt into moist ingredients; gradually beat flour into mixture to make a dough. Freeze dough for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll in reserved 1/2 cup lemon sugar. Place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Press cookies down slightly to flatten and sprinkle each cookie with about 1/8 teaspoon of the remaining lemon sugar.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are firm on bottoms, 10 to 12 minutes.

These snowballs are the perfect way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites leftover from making other recipes and these snowballs are the perfect way to use them up.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try reducing the amount of powdered sugar next time.

I love these snowballs! They're so light and fluffy, and the lemon flavor is just right. I always make a double batch because they disappear so quickly.

These snowballs were so easy to make and they turned out perfect! I used a cookie scoop to make sure they were all the same size and they baked evenly. The lemon glaze was the perfect finishing touch.
