Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden and the tops are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled cookies lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
