For a more intense lemon flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon extract to the dough. Ensure your cream cheese and egg are truly at room temperature for a smoother, better-emulsified dough. Don’t overbake! The cookies should be soft and cake-like, not crispy. If the dough is too sticky after chilling, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it reaches a manageable consistency.

StepZest Alchemy: In a bowl, mingle granulated sugar and lemon zest. With your fingertips, gently rub the zest into the sugar until the sugar turns a moist, pale yellow. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)
02
StepEmulsion Elixir: In a spacious bowl, whisk together olive oil and turmeric. Let it sit for about 1 minute. (Estimated time: 1 minute)
03
StepCreamy Fusion: Introduce the sugar mixture, softened cream cheese, egg, and vanilla extract into the bowl. Whisk vigorously until the concoction is exceptionally smooth and light. (Estimated time: 2-3 minutes)
04
StepLeavening Infusion: Incorporate baking soda and salt into the mixture, whisking until evenly distributed. (Estimated time: 1 minute)
05
StepFlour's Embrace: Gradually add flour, mixing with a spatula until just combined and no streaks remain. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)
06
StepChill Time: Envelop the dough and refrigerate until firm and no longer sticky, a minimum of 30 minutes, but it can rest comfortably overnight. (Estimated time: 30+ minutes)
