Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg, followed by the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
Using a tablespoon 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 9-11 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to turn golden. The centers will remain slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the cookies have cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over the top of each cookie or dip the tops of the cookies into the glaze for a thicker coating.
Allow the glaze to set for about 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
