These cookies are soft, chewy and have the perfect hint of lemon in every bite!
Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2¼ cups flour
Lemon Glaze
  • 1½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 Tablespoon milk
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together.
  3. Add egg and beat in well.
  4. Add lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla and mix until well blended.
  5. Add salt, baking powder and flour and mix until well incorporated.
  6. Roll cookies into 1 inch balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Space cookie dough balls about 2 inches apart from each other.
  7. Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden on the edges of cookies.

Notes
These cookies were made at high altitude. If you aren't baking at high altitude, you may need to decrease the flour by ¼ cup. Hope this helps :)
