Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 180 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.
Step 4
Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden but the centers remain soft.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve the cookies as a light dessert or snack, and enjoy the crispy texture with a burst of lemony flavor!
