Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
