Recipe Summary Lemon Cookies From Scratch

This is a fantastic lemon cookie recipe from scratch, making a batch of delicious, soft cookies with just a few lemons.

Ingredients | Bake From Scratch Magazine Customer Service

1 cup white sugar

½ cup butter, softened

2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest

2 eggs

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ cup powdered sugar

Directions

Cream sugar, butter, and lemon zest together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Combine eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a cup; mix using a fork until combined. Beat into egg mixture slowly on low speed.

Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add to egg mixture slowly on low speed until just combined. Do not overbeat; dough will be sticky. Cover and chill dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes; it will still be sticky after chilling.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Form dough into balls using a cookie scoop or tablespoon and roll each in powdered sugar. Place onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Lightly smash each ball down using your hand.

Bake in the preheated oven until the middle of each cookie is just barely set, 11 to 12 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack completely before storing in an airtight container.

For more lemon flavor, add more zest.

Eight balls of dough will fit on a normal 9x13-inch baking sheet.
