Ingredients
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– ½ cup powdered sugar
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon lemon zest
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– Optional: extra powdered sugar for dusting
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowl
– Electric mixer or whisk
– Rubber spatula
– Baking sheet
– Parchment paper
– Cookie cutter (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper. I love this step because the smell of warm cookies fills the kitchen almost immediately. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until fluffy and light in color. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer. It’s perfect for getting out some of the day’s stress! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
