just butter, lemon, and powdered sugar, can create absolute magic in under 30 minutes. One bite and you’ll understand why these cookies disappear faster than I can bake them!

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

½ cup powdered sugar

Extra powdered sugar for dusting

1 tbsp lemon zest

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1½ cups all-purpose flour

¼ cup cornstarch

pinch of salt

Directions

Step1

Make sure butter is soft. Beat butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Mix well and scrape the bowl.

Step2

Add lemon zest and juice. Mix gently (it may look a bit uneven, that’s okay). Mix flour, cornstarch, and salt in another bowl. Add to the butter mix slowly. Mix until soft dough forms (not sticky).

Step3

Roll small balls of dough. Place on a baking tray and press lightly. Bake at 350°F for 12–14 minutes. Let cool, then dust with powdered sugar.

Step4

Serve and Enjoy!!
