Cinnamon Lemon Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look a little soft, but that’s perfect for chewy cookies.
  8. Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.

These cookies are sure to be a hit! Enjoy sharing them with family and friends or savoring them all by yourself. Each bite transports you to a world where cinnamon and lemon dance together in perfect harmony.
