How to Make Lemon Cream Snowball Cookies

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
• Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
• Add the all-purpose flour gradually, mixing until just combined.
• Fold in the chopped nuts, if using them.
• Scoop the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them on the prepared baking sheet with space between each.
• Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
• Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack and dusting with powdered sugar.
