Units Scale

Cookies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Beat in eggs one at a time, then add lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Mix batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with sour cream, mixing until just combined.
  6. Bake: Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
  7. Glaze cookies: Allow cookies to cool on a wire rack. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth and drizzle over cooled cookies.
