Ingredients

  • 1 cup Salted Butter softened
  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 4 Large Eggs
  • 4 TBSP Lemon Juice
  • 4 TBSP Lemon Zest
  • 1 TBSP Baking Powder
  • 4 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • Food Coloring - Pink, Blue, Yellow
  • ½-1 cup Powdered Sugar to roll the cookie dough in

Instructions

  • Cookie Dough: Use a large mixing bowl and an electric mixer to combine and cream the butter and granulated sugar. Add in the eggs and mix again until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the lemon juice and lemon zest, beat until fully incorporated.
  • Stir in the baking powder until well mixed. Mix in the flour, complete this in three batches, mixing well between each until fully combined.
  • Coloring: Divide the dough into 4 equal sized portions in separate bowls. Use the food coloring to tint each portion a different shade. Make one pink, one yellow, one blue, and one purple, the perfect spring colors!
  • Chill dough: Place the dough into the fridge to chill for 2 hours.
  • Bake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, pour the powder sugar to prepare for rolling the dough in.
  • Pull your cookie dough from the fridge and scoop it into 1-inch sized balls and roll them into powdered sugar until well coated. Transfer each ball onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. Let the cookies cool for about 5 minutes, then serve and enjoy!
