Steps:
- Cream sugar, butter, and lemon zest together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Combine eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a cup; mix using a fork until combined. Beat into egg mixture slowly on low speed.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add to egg mixture slowly on low speed until just combined. Do not overbeat; dough will be sticky. Cover and chill dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes; it will still be sticky after chilling.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Form dough into balls using a cookie scoop or tablespoon and roll each in powdered sugar. Place onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Lightly smash each ball down using your hand.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the middle of each cookie is just barely set, 11 to 12 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack completely before storing in an airtight container.

11 BEST RECIPES FOR LEMON COOKIES - THE SPRUCE EATS
From thespruceeats.com
Estimated Reading Time 4 mins
- Cream Cheese Lemon Cookies. The addition of cream cheese gives these citrus-forward cookies a soft, tender texture and the lemon icing adds a lovely sweetness.
- Easy Lemonade Cookies. Try these simple lemonade cookies to bring the roadside stand to the dessert table. They use frozen lemonade concentrate to give them a burst of assertive citrus flavor.
- Lemon Butter Cookies. These powdered sugar-coated lemon cookies taste similar to classic snowballs, except with a bright hint of citrus from grated lemon zest and fresh juice.
- Lemon Icebox Cookies. These simple icebox cookies make a great option for a busy afternoon since the dough gets refrigerated until hard, then sliced and baked.
- Classic Lemon Bars. A classic lemon bar needs a buttery crust and a smooth, fluffy filling with lots of citrus flavor. This recipe calls for more lemon juice than the recipes your grandma may have used, giving the filling a tender texture and a very lemony taste.
- Black and White Cookies. With just a hint of lemon, black and white cookies are fun to bake. The cookie batter is flavored with lemon and vanilla extracts, while a combination of all-purpose and cake flours ensures a soft, cake-like texture.
- Lemon Poppyseed Hamantaschen. For your Purim dessert table, try these light and spring-like lemon poppyseed hamantaschen cookies. Lemon curd perfectly complements the tender, shortbread-like dough that can be made both dairy or pareve, depending on whether you use a curd that includes butter or cream.
- Zucchini Lemon Cookies. If you have extra zucchini on your hands, whip up a batch of these delicious and versatile cookies. They taste great filled with walnuts and lemon zest, then topped with a lemon icing.
- Vegan Lemon Sugar Cookies. Vegans won't miss the butter in these sweet treats that taste just like a classic sugar cookie without any animal products. Silken tofu helps give them the right texture and fresh lemon juice adds that bright note.
- Lemon Shortbread Bar Cookies. These bar cookies have a buttery, crumbly shortbread crust to give the classic lemon bar a slightly different twist. They make a perfect ending to a summery BBQ or an easy contribution to any get-together.
