Makes 2-3 dozen cookies.
½ cups butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 whole egg
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoons baking powder
⅛ teaspoons baking soda
1-½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cups powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease light colored baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray or line them (silicone baking mat or parchment paper). Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla, egg, lemon zest, and juice. Gently beat in all dry ingredients except the powdered sugar until just combined. Pour powdered sugar onto a large plate. Roll a heaping teaspoon of dough into a ball and roll in powdered sugar. Place on baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough.
Bake for 7-9 minutes or until bottoms begin to barely brown and cookies look cooked through. Do not over bake. Remove from oven and cool cookies about 3 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
