Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets lightly.

  2. Combine 3 tablespoons white sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice together in a small bowl.

  3. Beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat egg yolks, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and vanilla extract into butter mixture. Add flour, half-and-half, and baking soda, stir until dough is just combined.

  4. Roll dough into walnut-size balls, coating each in the lemon sugar mixture and allowing excess to drip off. Place 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes more.
