Ingredients

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup butter room temperature
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 tablespoon Meyer lemon juice
1 teaspoon Meyer lemon zest

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy.
Add the eggs, lemon extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat to combine.
Add the flour mixture and mix until combined.
Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Use a cookie scoop to scoop out dough and place the balls on the lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are golden brown but the center is still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for five minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
