OMG these cookies are so good. I found them on the Internet and had to try them. They are like lemon bars but a cookie. These cookies are light and buttery with a tremendous fresh lemon flavor. They are irresistible.
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, from about 1/2 lemon (I used a whole lemon)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1-1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line rimmed baking sheets with parchment or lightly coat with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add vanilla, egg, lemon zest and juice and mix well, craping down the sides as needed. Add the dry ingredients (except the powdered sugar) and mix until just combined. Place the powdered sugar on a large plate or shallow pie dish. Roll tablespoon-size balls of dough in the powdered sugar to coat. Place on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes. The cookies will not be browned on the edges but they will have lost a bit of their shininess on top. Don't over bake! Cool the cookies on a cooling rack and wtore in an airtight container or eat immediately.
Makes: 2-3 dozens
