Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Meltaways
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and powdered sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Gradually mix in the cornstarch, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt, then add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, slightly flattening each ball.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden at the edges but still soft in the middle.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, then dust with powdered sugar.

Notes
For best results, chill the dough before baking, and consider adding flavors like lavender or lime zest for a twist on the classic recipe.
