How to Make Lemon Refrigerator Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice and the zest of 2 lemons.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a 1 ½-inch diameter log on a sheet of plastic wrap.
- Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Once chilled, slice the logs into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
- Place cookies onto prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
