Description

A double hit of fresh lemon flavor is paired with the chewy goodness of your favorite sugar cookie. It’s like biting into spring.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE COOKIES:
  • 1 cup Butter, Softened
  • 2 cups White Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 whole Large Eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1 whole Lemon, Zest Of
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 3 cups Flour
  • 1 cup Icing Sugar
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • 1 cup Icing Sugar, More Or Less As Needed
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice, More Or Less As Needed

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350℉ and line your cookie sheets with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.

In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, eggs, lemon juice and lemon zest. Mix until well combined.

Add the salt, baking powder, baking soda and flour. Stir in gently until just combined.

Put the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll the dough into ping pong ball-sized balls (use a heaping teaspoon to scoop it out of the bowl). Roll the balls into the powdered sugar and place onto your cookie sheet leaving an inch or two between them. Gently flatten the balls with the bottom of a glass dipped in the powdered sugar to prevent sticking.

Bake for about 10 minutes, until the edges barely begin to be kissed by brown. Remove pans from oven. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack.

If you want to drizzle on a glaze, simply mix together the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl. Adjust with more sugar or lemon juice as needed to get a somewhat runny consistency, then just use a spoon to lightly drizzle over the cookies. A little goes a long way here.
