Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
-
In a separate bowl, using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using) to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until everything is well incorporated.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out the cookie dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
-
Gently press down on each cookie with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern and slightly flatten the cookies.
-
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
-
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cookies have cooled, dust the tops with powdered sugar for a delicate finishing touch.
