Calories 102kcal
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups cake flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
Powdered Sugar Coating
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon powdered lemonade drinking mix such as Kool-Aid or True Lemon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer with paddle attachment, cream together butter and both sugars (granulated sugar and powdered sugar) until light and fluffy.
- Add in egg, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extracts. Beat until combined.
- Add cake flour and baking powder, in two increments and beat on low until just combined. Bake right away or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- Use a small cookie scoop and make 1-inch round cookie dough balls and place two inches apart on parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Using the bottom of a glass or your hands, gently press down each cookie until slightly flattened.
- Bake for 11 to 13 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Ovens vary so watch closely. If making larger cookies, increase baking time slightly.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a small, shallow bowl, toss together powdered sugar and lemon mix. You can leave out the powdered lemon mix and just use powdered sugar, if desired. Toss each cookie in the powdered sugar mix and repeat with remaining cookies.
