Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 1: Mixing the Dry Ingredients
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 2: Creaming the Butter and Sugar
In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add in the egg and continue to beat until well combined.
Step 3: Adding in the Lemon
Next, add in the lemon juice and zest to the wet mixture and mix until well incorporated.
Step 4: Combining the Wet and Dry Mixtures
Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a bit more flour.

Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Step 6: Baking the Cookies
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
