Instructions to Heavenly Goodness
Alright, fam, let’s get this bakin’ party started!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside.
- In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy. Make sure to scrape down the sides! You want a creamy texture.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Don’t rush it; love is in the details!
- Stir in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice until everything is well combined.
- Gradually add in the dry ingredients to your wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—nobody wants tough cookies!
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between them.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden. They’ll look deliciously puffy!
- While the cookies are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk for that sweet glaze.
- Once the cookies are out and slightly cooled, drizzle that glaze over the top and sprinkle some extra lemon zest for that pop of flavor.
Once you take that first bite, you’ll see what I mean about them dancing on your taste buds! Serve them up and watch everyone fall in love. Enjoy those lemony delights!
