• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
• finely grated peel of 1 lemon
• 2 3/4 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• additional sugar for rolling cookie (regular or coarse)

• 1 Beat butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
• 2 Add egg, vanilla, lemon juice and grated lemon peel. Mix well.
• 3 Stir together dry ingredients in a small bowl and add gradually to the creamed mixture until well blended.
• 4 Form rounded tsp of dough into balls and roll in sugar (if you use coarse sugar, it will look more sparkly! ).
• 5 Bake in preheated oven at 350F for 8-10 minutes, just until lightly browned on the bottom. (this makes a soft, chewy cookie; if you want crispier, bake until they're lightly browned on top.).
• 6 Allow to cool on pan slightly before removing to cooling rack.
