Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for dusting

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the softened butter and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl.

  6. Scoop portions of dough and roll them into small balls, placing them on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  7. Flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass or your hand.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the bottoms are lightly golden.
  9. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  10. Dust with additional powdered sugar after the cookies are completely cooled.
