Ingredients
  

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Optional: extra lemon zest for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

        Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they'll firm up as they cool.

                Cool & Dust: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Once cool, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar, and if desired, sprinkle with extra lemon zest for an extra zesty touch.

                  Serve & Enjoy: Enjoy your delicious Lemon Bliss Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee, or share with friends and family for a delightful treat!
