Gather all your ingredients at room temperature for optimal mixing results. Measure them accurately using a kitchen scale or measuring cups to ensure consistent outcomes.

In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer on medium speed.

Beat in one large egg followed by lemon zest, vanilla extract, and lemon extract until everything is well blended together into a smooth batter.

Gradually add your dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture while mixing on low speed until just combined without overworking it.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you scoop out rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart evenly before baking them for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden around edges.
