Soft Italian Easter Cookies

richanddelish.com

These Italian easter cookies are cakey, soft, buttery, full of lemon flavor from fresh lemon, and are topped with lemon glaze and pastel sprinkles.

Into a big mixing bowl, add the room temperature butter, vanilla extract, kosher salt, and sugar.

And cream it with an electric hand mixer for 2-3 minutes or until it's creamy and light in color.

Add the eggs and mix until smooth and well combined.

Then, add the flour, and baking powder, and mix with the hand mixer until just combined. Finish with a rubber spatula.

Use a small cookie scoop (1 tbsp) and scoop the cookie dough onto the parchment paper baking sheet.

Bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 11-15 minutes or until the cookies are puffed and they have a light golden brown color.

Dip each cookie in the lemon glaze and top it with your favorite easter sprinkles.
