Soft & Chewy Lemon Cookies

1.0

12 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

1 tbsp. lemon zest

1 large egg, room temperature

1 large egg yolk, room temperature

2 tsp. lemon extract (or 1 tsp. each lemon and vanilla extract)

3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cornstarch

¾ tsp. salt

2 tbsp. lemon juice

¼ cup granulated sugar, for rolling & garnishing

Beat the butter, sugar, and lemon zest in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for about 3-4 minutes or until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add eggs and extract(s), mix again.
Add the dry ingredients in a mound with baking soda on top.
Add the lemon juice on top of the baking soda, it will foam = activated.
Mix just until combined. Do not over mix.
You can refrigerate the dough now as is or scoop and roll into balls and then refrigerate. Balls will be about ~1 ½-2 tbsp. in size.
Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Add about ¼ cup granulated sugar into a bowl and roll the balls in the granulated sugar.
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and place about 6-8 cookies at a time on a baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 min. DO NOT OVERBAKE. These need to be very soft and chewy.
Swirl a cup around the cookies when they come out of the oven (while they’re still warm) to make them perfect circles.
Rest on a cookie sheet for just 5 minutes then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Sprinkle the tops of cookies with more granulated sugar for a sparkly look and lemon zest if desired.
