Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract

  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced

  • 1 drop yellow food coloring, or as desired (Optional)

  • ¾ cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

  1. Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a medium bowl. Set aside.

  2. Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment until creamy. Beat in egg, vanilla extract, lemon extract, lemon zest and juice, and yellow food coloring. Scrape down sides of bowl; beat to combine. Add flour mixture; beat until just combined.

  3. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate cookie dough for 1 hour.

  4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  5. Drop dough using a cookie scoop or spoon into approximate 1 1/2-inch rounds; slightly flatten to 1/2-inch thickness.

  6. Add confectioners' sugar to a shallow bowl; add flattened dough rounds to coat thoroughly. Remove with a fork or spoon; place on the prepared baking sheet.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven until cookies no longer glossy and have a matte look, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet 3 to 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
