Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoon Lemon Zest (appoximately 2 lemons)
  • 2 tablespoon Lemon Juice (approximately 2 lemons)
  • 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 8 Tablespoons Butter, room temperature
  • 1 Large Egg, room temperature
  • ⅔ Cup Sprinkles use colors of your choice
  • ½ Cup Raspberry jam homemade or store-bought

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃)
  • Prepare 2 baking sheets by lining with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and lemon zest.
  • Using a stand-mixer with the paddle attachment, begin creaming the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (approximately 2 - 4 minutes on medium speed). Scrape the bowl as needed. Note: a hand-mixer may also be used.
  • Add the egg and lemon juice. Mix on low speed until incorporated.
  • Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until combined.
  • Scoop approximately 1 ½ tablespoons of cookie dough and roll into a ball.
  • Lightly press each ball of cookie dough in the sprinkles. Place on the prepared baking sheets. Leave approximately 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  • Use the back of a ½ teaspoon to make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
  • Bake cookies for 10 - 12 minutes.
  • While the cookies are still warm, use the back of the ½ teaspoon spoon to increase the indentation in the center of each cookie.
  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. 
  • Fill the center of each cookie with raspberry jam. Enjoy!
