Ingredients
I said before that this recipe calls for pantry staples. By that, I mean flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and baking powder.
If you like to bake, chances are you have everything on hand. So, the lemon is the only thing you may have to go out for.
- All-purpose Flour – It's the ultimate ingredient for making cookies. It provides structure to the dough and defines the cookie's texture.
- Lemon Juice and Zest – The star of this recipe is the bright, zesty flavor. To get that, you need juice and zest!
- Vanilla Extract – It has a rich, sweet fragrance that pairs perfectly with the tangy flavor of fresh lemons.
- Egg – Egg is an essential ingredient for this cookie recipe as it helps bind the ingredients together. Use room-temperature eggs for best results.
- Butter – Butter adds a soft, rich taste you can't get anywhere else. Use unsalted or salted – but omit the additional salt if you use salted butter.
- Baking Powder – Baking powder helps the dough lift, giving you a perfectly crisp yet soft cookie.
- Salt – It highlights the sweet, tangy flavor and strengthens the dough. Again, omit this if you use salted butter.
- White and Powdered Sugar – No sweet treat is complete without sugar. This recipe calls for white sugar in the dough and powdered sugar for finishing.
