Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg, lemon zest, Meyer lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Baking
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Icing
- While the cookies cool, prepare the icing by whisking together the powdered sugar and Meyer lemon juice until smooth.
- Drizzle the icing over the cooled cookies and allow it to set before serving.
Notes
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Freeze unbaked cookie dough for up to 3 months. For variations, consider adding fresh rosemary, chopped pecans, or using almond flour as a substitute.
