Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
- Add the egg, lemon extract, lemon zest, and honey; beat until well combined, about 2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Add lemon juice to the batter and mix until incorporated. The batter will be thick but moist.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into 12 mounds, roll into balls, and slightly flatten them.
- Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the cookies for 10 minutes until edges are slightly golden.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with confectioners’ sugar or drizzle with lemon glaze, if desired.
Notes
