  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets.
  2. Mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  3. Cream together the softened butter and sugar in a separate bowl until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients.
  5. Incorporate the fresh lemon juice and zest into the dough.
  6. Shape the dough into balls and place them on the baking sheets.

Notes

For softer cookies, chill the dough if it’s too soft. Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
