Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp strawberry puree
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1-2 drops yellow or pink food coloring (optional)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (for lemon glaze)
  • 2 tbsp strawberry puree (for strawberry glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternate adding dry ingredients and sour cream until combined.
  4. Divide the dough into two bowls. For lemon cookies, mix in lemon juice, zest, and yellow food coloring. For strawberry cookies, mix in strawberry puree and pink food coloring.
  5. Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until edges are slightly golden. Let cool completely before glazing.
  6. Mix powdered sugar with lemon juice (for lemon glaze) or strawberry puree (for strawberry glaze) until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
  7. Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Let cookies sit for a day to deepen the flavors. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or freeze for up to three months.
