Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 ¾ cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 teaspoons lemon juice freshly squeezed is best
  • 1 Zest from one lemon
  • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar for 30 seconds.
  • Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix in baking soda and cream of tartar on low speed for 10 seconds.
  • While the mixer is low speed, add in egg yolks (one at a time) and continue to mix until incorporated. Stir in vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  • One everything is combined, add in the flour ½ cup at a time and stir until all flour is incorporated. Do not over mix.
  • Drop dough by the tablespoon on a parchment-covered baking sheet and (using your hands) roll each one into a ball. Cookies will spread during baking, so be sure to leave 3-4 inches between each one.
  • Bake for 11-12 minutes or until edges are very slightly browned.
  • Cool on cookie sheet for 5-10 minutes before removing cookies from the pan. (This will allow the cookies to finish baking by the heat of the pan.)
