Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 180 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 30 grams powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice to the bowl, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, lightly dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
