Lemon Cookies



I originally found this recipe on Pinterest back when I very first started pinning. The only thing I changed in the recipe today was I used whole wheat flour instead of white flour. It tastes exactly the same, but it makes the cookies look a little brown. I like the look of them better using white flour.


Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 teaspoon lemon zest (or zest from one lemon)
1 Tablespoon lemon juice (or juice from one lemon)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Beat butter and sugar until fully mixed. Add vanilla, egg, lemon zest and lemon juice and mix until fully combined. In separate bowl whisk together salt, baking powder, baking soda and flour. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix together.

Take teaspoon size balls of dough and roll into powdered sugar. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Makes 2 dozen cookies.
