Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).

02

Step

2 mins

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated (about 1 minute).

03

Step

2 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt.

04

Step

3 mins

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix (about 2-3 minutes).

05

Step

2 hrs

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough until firm, about 2 hours.

06

Step

10 mins

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

07

Step

1 mins

In a shallow bowl, combine the remaining sugar and cinnamon for the coating.

08

Step

10 mins

Scoop the chilled dough using a small cookie scoop or spoon, forming about 60 small balls.

09

Step

5 mins

Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.

10

Step

2 mins

Arrange the coated dough balls on baking sheets lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between each cookie.

11

Step

10 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are lightly browned, about 10-12 minutes.

12

Step

15 mins

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

For a more intense lemon flavor, add an extra 1/4 teaspoon of lemon zest.
If the dough is too soft to handle after chilling, add a tablespoon or two of flour.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
