Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups of all purpose flour
  • ½ tsp of baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 stick of butter, softened
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp of fresh lemon juice
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 4 drops of yellow food coloring
  • ½ of powdered sugar for dredging (roll it in before cooking)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 F or 177 C.
  • Put the all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl(sift). Whisk well and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and food coloring. Beat until well combined.

  • Set it on a baking sheet lined with some parchment paper or a baking mat.
  • Repeat this process for the remaining batter.
  • Put the cookies in the oven and bake them for 12 to 14 minutes.
