For the best lemon flavor, use fresh lemon zest and juice. Chilling the dough is essential for preventing the cookies from spreading too thin. Don't overbake the cookies; they should be soft and chewy. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Set aside. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, and yellow food coloring (if using). Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix until well combined. (7 minutes)
03
StepGradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)
04
StepCover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours, to allow the dough to firm up. (60-120 minutes)
05
StepPreheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. (10 minutes)
06
StepUsing a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough into the powdered sugar, coating them completely. Gently flatten each cookie slightly. (8 minutes)
07
StepPlace the coated cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. (2 minutes)
08
StepBake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the surfaces of the cookies have a matte, crinkled appearance. (12-15 minutes)
09
StepLet the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)
