These Lemon Meltaway Cookies are soft, delicate, and impossibly bright — the kind of treat that brings sunshine to any day. With their tender, buttery crumb and fresh lemon aroma, they truly melt in your mouth. Rolled in powdered sugar while still warm, each cookie takes on a snowy, sweet finish that perfectly complements the citrus burst. They’re simple, elegant, and always a crowd-pleaser.
The combination of lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla creates a beautifully layered flavor that feels both refreshing and comforting. Cornstarch lends that signature meltaway texture, and the cookies bake up pale, soft, and irresistibly tender. Whether you’re filling a holiday cookie tray, baking for friends, or craving something light and sunny, these cookies fit every occasion with ease.
