Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350º. Whisk together sour cream, juice, and baking soda in a small bowl; set aside. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl, and set aside.

Step 2

Put butter into bowl of standing mixer fitted with a whisk. Beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 1-2 minutes. Reduce speed to low, add 1 cup of the sugar, the egg, and zest, and continue beating until smooth, about 30 seconds. Alternately fold flour and sour cream mixtures into butter until combined.

Step 3

Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven. Arrange tablespoon-size pieces of dough 2 1⁄2'' apart on parchment-lined cookie sheets. Sprinkle each with some of the remaining sugar. Bake until edges are golden, 12-15 minutes, turning trays halfway through baking.
