Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
  2. Place Meyer lemon zest and white sugar in a food processor and pulse for 1 minute. Beat lemon-sugar, brown sugar, and butter in a large mixer bowl at medium speed until creamy. Add Meyer lemon juice, vanilla and egg; beat until combined. Reduce speed to low and gradually add flour mixture; beat just until incorporated.

  4. Form 1 1/4″ balls of dough and place two inches apart on prepared baking sheets; flatten mounds slightly.
  5. Bake for 10 t0 12 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, until golden. Cool for 5 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer cookies to a wire rack and dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
  6. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

    1. Hi Nicole, the cookies should freeze wonderfully! Or you can freeze the shaped dough and bake whenever a craving strikes! 🙂

  1. Wow, these were great. My meyer lemon tree is exploding with fruit in my living room, and these cookies were the perfect thing!
