Lemon Cookies [1]

1/2 c (118 g) unsalted butter, room temp

3/4 c (149 g)sugar

1 1/2 Tbsp lemon zest (I used the zest from the whole lemon)

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

2. Cream together the butter and sugar, then add the egg, juice, zest and vanilla. Sift in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Drop by 1 1/2 tsps onto lined baking sheets and bake 10-12 min until lightly golden around edges. Let cool on sheets one minute before placing on racks to cool completely. Makes about 2 dozen.

1. You probably won’t need this much icing, but it depends on how much icing you want to put on the cookies. I used around 3/4 c icing sugar and just enough lemon juice to make a thick paste.
