Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- Zest of 1 large lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until well incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.

- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for best results. Don’t overbake cookies; they will continue to firm up as they cool.
