Ingredients
Baking soda ¼ tsp or 1g
Lemon juice 2 tbsp or 30g
Vanilla extract 1 tsp or 4g
Lemon zest 100g
Powdered sugar ½ cup unsifted or 60g
Directions
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside.
- Using either a stand mixer or a medium-sized mixing bowl and a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, cream together the butter and 1 cup granulated sugar for 3 to 4 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Lower the mixer speed to medium, add the lemon juice, lemon extract, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix for an additional 30 seconds.
- Keeping the mixer on medium, add the egg and mix until no more yellow streaks of egg are visible.
- Lower the mixer speed to low, add the flour mixture 1 cup at a time. Mix just until the flour mixture is just combined, do not over mix the dough.
- Add the 4 to 5 drops of yellow food color gel. Mix just until the yellow is worked into the dough. Cover well and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Just before you remove the dough from the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper, set them aside.
- Using a tablespoon cookie dough scoop, scoop out the cookie dough. Roll the dough into balls. Roll the dough balls 1st in the 1/4 cup granulated sugar, then roll the dough balls in the powdered sugar.
- Space the dough balls 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, the edges should not be golden, and the center should appear to be not completely set.
- Allow the cookies to rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before moving the cookies to a cooling rack.
