Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/3 cup lemon juice
2 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter and sugar until creamy. Add egg and lemon juice; beat well.
2. In seperate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Gradually beat flour mixture into creamed mixture. Beat until well-mixed. Dough will be soft!

4. After dough has chilled, preheat oven to 375.
