Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon
Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg, then mix in the lemon juice and zest until well combined.
Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden. Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar.

Notes

To enhance the lemony flavor, try adding a bit more zest or a dash of vanilla extract. These cookies also freeze well, making them perfect for prepping ahead.
