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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
- Beat the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for 30 seconds on medium-high speed. Add in the sugar, lemon zest, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
- Beat in the egg, sour cream, lemon juice, lemon and vanilla extract.
- Turn the mixture down to medium speed and gradually add in both flours.
- Add in the white chocolate chips just until combined.
- Drop dough onto prepared baking sheet. I like to use a 3 Tbsp. cookie scoop for this because the batter can be very fluffy/sticky. (recipe will make ~11-12 cookies)
- Bake in preheated oven for 11-13 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides. The centers will still look very soft.
- Make the lemon glaze while the cookies are in the oven. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the sugar and lemon juice.
- Brush the tops of the warm cookies with the lemon glaze. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack. Garnish with more lemon zest, if desired, and enjoy.

SOFT LEMON COOKIES FROM SCRATCH
These delicious cookies have a kick of lemon flavor, and they're made from scratch rather than a box mix like the majority of recipes out there. This recipe was created because I absolutely love lemon-flavored desserts, but have an allergy to artificial colorants and dyes used in food. Following this recipe as written, you can take comfort in knowing you're not feeding your children any artificial colorings.
