Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1/2 teaspoon baking powder; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened; 1/2 cup granulated sugar; 1 large egg; Zest of 1 lemon; 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice; 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg until well combined, then add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Gently press down on each cookie ball with the back of a fork to flatten slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for a lovely finishing touch.
