Lemon Snowball Cookies Recipe - Delicious American Treat

Ingredients

Servings:
24
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (grated)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 cup additional powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Make sure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugar

    In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/4 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use an electric mixer for best results.
  3. Add Lemon Ingredients

    Mix in the lemon juice and lemon zest until well combined.

    Fresh lemon juice enhances the flavor.
  4. Incorporate Flour

    Gradually add the sifted flour to the mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.

    Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
  5. Shape the Cookies

    Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

    Ensure uniform size for even baking.
  6. Bake the Cookies

    Place the cookie balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes.

    Look for a light golden color around the edges.
  7. Cool and Roll in Sugar

    Allow the cookies to cool slightly, then roll them in the additional powdered sugar while still warm.

    This creates a snowy coating effect.
  8. Serve and Enjoy

    Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

    These cookies pair well with tea or coffee.
