Meyer Lemon Cookies

These Meyer Lemon Cookies are a delectable treat that provides a burst of citrusy sunshine, ideal for brightening up the winter months. The fragrant Meyer lemon zest and juice give these cookies a distinct and refreshing flavor that will lift your spirits.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon Meyer lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions:

Set the oven to 350F 175C and heat it up

Make the butter and sugar fluffy by beating them together in a large bowl

Add the egg, Meyer lemon zest, and Meyer lemon juice and beat until everything is well mixed

Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a different bowl

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix them together until they are just combined

Make little balls out of the cookie dough that are about an inch across

Coat each ball evenly with powdered sugar by rolling it in it

Spread the balls out on a baking sheet so that they are about 2 inches apart

With the bottom of a glass or your palm, gently press each ball down

After the oven is hot, bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden

After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way
