With a buttery texture and a revitalizing lemony taste, these cookies are not only delicious but also beautiful to share with friends and family during the festive season. Their sweet and tangy profile makes them an instant favorite among cookie lovers.

Ingredients Quantity
All-purpose flour 2 ¾ cups
Baking powder 1 tsp
Baking soda ½ tsp
Salt ½ tsp
Unsalted butter 1 cup (2 sticks, softened)
Granulated sugar 1 ½ cups
Lemon zest (fresh) 2 tbsp
Lemon juice (fresh) 2 tbsp
Eggs 1 large
Vanilla extract 1 tsp
Powdered sugar For dusting (optional)

Cooking Instructions:

  1. Prep Your Oven and Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside as you prepare the wet ingredients.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add Flavorings and Egg: Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined. Then, beat in the egg until fully incorporated.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain soft cookies.
  6. Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Flatten Slightly: Gently press the tops of the cookie dough balls with the back of a glass or your fingers to flatten them slightly.
  8. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which is fine as they will continue to set as they cool.
  9. Cool the Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Add Finishing Touch (Optional): Once the cookies are completely cool, you can dust them with powdered sugar for an extra festive flair.

Enjoy your freshly baked Classic Lemon Sugar Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee, and share them with loved ones for a sweet holiday treat!

  5. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, blending on low speed until the dough is just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a soft texture.
  6. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This will help the cookies maintain their shape during baking.
