• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy

Stir in the vanilla extract, Meyer lemon zest, and Meyer lemon juice

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined

Fold in the rainbow sprinkles gently, making sure not to overmix the dough

Cover the cookie dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes

Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Take the chilled cookie dough out of the refrigerator and shape it into small balls

Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie

Using the bottom of a glass, press down on each cookie ball slightly to flatten it

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely

Once the cookies have cooled, dust them with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness
