Lemon Cookies

I LOVE lemon.  I am always looking for new lemon recipes.  This one is a very fast, simple, and basic lemon cookie recipe.  They taste SO yummy, too.

Here is what you need:

1/2 Cup Butter, softened

1 Cup Sugar

1 Egg

1 tsp lemon zest

1 Tbsp lemon juice

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/8 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 Cup flour

1/2 Cup powdered sugar

1) Preheat oven to 350 and spray/grease cookie sheets.

2) Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy.  Add the egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice.  Whip it together.  Add the dry ingredients except the powdered sugar.  Mix until moist.

3) Put the powdered sugar on a plate or platter.  Form the dough into balls (I used a tablespoon cookie drop) and roll each dough in the powdered sugar.  Place on a cookie sheet.

4) Bake for 9-11 minutes until the bottoms are just starting to brown.

Like I said, I used the tablespoon cookie dropper and ended up with 20 cookies.  I would definitely double the recipe if I use that scoop again.  I also did not actually measure the lemon zest or juice.  I LOVE lemon, so when I make them again and choose not to measure, I will be adding more zest and juice.  I do not know if what the recipe calls for is sufficient.
