Lemon Melt away Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your palm.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust cookies with additional powdered sugar for a meltaway effect.
Tips:
- Use freshly grated lemon zest for the brightest citrus flavor.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
