A delightful twist on classic lemon cookies, these treats are soft, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Use room temperature butter for easier mixing.
Beat in the egg and the zest and juice of the lemon until well combined.
Zest the lemon before juicing for convenience.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Sift the dry ingredients for a finer texture.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Cooling on the sheet helps set the cookies.
Serve the cookies and enjoy their delightful lemony flavor.
Pair with tea or coffee for a perfect snack.
