Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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!
