Ingredients
To make these Holiday Lemon Sugar Cookies, you will need the following simple ingredients:
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients - flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
Step 2: Chill the Dough
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Chilling the dough will enhance the flavor and help the cookies keep their shape while baking.
Step 3: Preheat the Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 4: Form and Roll the Dough
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll each ball in granulated sugar and place on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
Step 5: Bake and Cool
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
The Finishing Touch
To elevate these Holiday Lemon Sugar Cookies, you can drizzle them with a simple icing made from powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice. This adds a beautiful and tangy touch to the already delicious cookies.
