Copy Of Lemon Cookie Recipe

2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature (1 cup - 230 grams )

1 ½ cups granulated sugar (300 grams )

3 tbsp lemon zest

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 large egg

3 cups all purpose flour (360 grams)

1 tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

¼ cup sugar, for rolling cookies (50 grams )

In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and lemon zest with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes.
Add in the lemon juice and egg, beat again to combine.
Gradually add in the flour, baking soda and salt, mixing by hand with a spatula until combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
Remove the dough from the fridge. Pre-heat the oven to 350ºF. Place ¼ cup sugar in a bowl for rolling the cookies.
Use a cookie scoop to form balls, rolling each ball into the sugar. Place the cookies 2 inches apart on a silicone lined baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until the edges have a faint golden color.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.
