Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Add the lemon zest, lime zest, lemon juice, and lime juice to the wet batter and mix until incorporated.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls 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 just set and the centers look slightly underbaked. Avoid overbaking for soft cookies.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are completely cool, dust them lightly with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
