- 1 cup Butter salted, room temperature
- ¾ cup Sugar
- 1 large Egg room temperature
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest zest of about 1 lemon
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
Lemon Powder for Cooler Cookies
- ½ cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Powdered Lemonade Mix
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, or about 3 minutes. Slowly add the egg and lemon zest. Mix on low, scraping the bowl as needed to make sure it is all mixed.
Add the flour and baking powder and mix just until completely combined. Do not overmix.
Using spoons or a small ice cream scoop, scoop 1" balls, place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet about 3 inches apart and then flatten them slightly with the palm of your hand.
Bake in a preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly golden on the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a couple minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar and lemonade mix, then dip each cookie into the powdered sugar mixture making sure to cover completely.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or eat immediately. Enjoy!
