Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cream butter and sugar: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add wet ingredients: Beat in the eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated.
  • Chill dough: Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
  • Form cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Add crème brûlée sugar topping: Sprinkle a pinch of brown sugar over each cookie dough ball.
  • Bake cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Cool and enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool slightly before enjoying!

Notes

  • For an extra touch, after baking, gently press down on the cookies with the back of a spoon to flatten them slightly before they cool.
  • These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • If you want a more pronounced lemon flavor, feel free to add an extra tablespoon of lemon zest.
