Ingredients

1 cup (226g) unsalted butter (room temperature)

1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar

3 Tbsp lemon zest

2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 large egg

3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup (50g) sugar (for rolling cookies)

Directions

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 1/4 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.
