Lemon butter cookies are a delightful choice for snacks. Here's a recipe for you to enjoy:
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Stir until a dough forms. It may be slightly crumbly, but that's normal.
Take portions of the dough and roll them into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on the cookies.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on a wire rack.
If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve the delicious lemon butter cookies as a snack with your favorite hot or cold beverage.
