Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp (3g) baking soda
- ¼ tsp (1.5g) salt
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp (6g) lemon zest
- 2 tbsp (30ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and 150g granulated sugar on medium-high until pale and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Turn the mixer to low and gradually add the dry flour mixture, mixing only until the white streaks disappear.
- Use a cookie scoop to create 1-inch balls of dough.
- Roll each dough ball first in the granulated sugar coating to create a moisture barrier.
- Roll the sugar-coated balls generously in the powdered sugar until completely white and heavily coated.
- Arrange the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them 2 inches apart.
