Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in the lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  7. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your palm.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, dust cookies with additional powdered sugar for a meltaway effect.

Tips:

  1. Use freshly grated lemon zest for the brightest citrus flavor.
  2. Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
