Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus more for dusting)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Zest of 2 Meyer lemons
  • 2 tablespoons fresh Meyer lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, powdered sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and light.
  4. Add Lemon Zest and Juice: Stir in the zest of the Meyer lemons, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
  6. Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm it up.
  7. Form Cookies: Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until the edges are set, but the tops are still pale.
  9. Cool Cookies: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once the cookies are cool, dust them generously with powdered sugar before serving.
