How to Make Cinnamon Lemon Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll the dough into 3/4-inch diameter balls.
- In a shallow dish, combine ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
- Place cookies about 1 inch apart on lightly greased baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let cookies cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
