Step 1

In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and lemon zest with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes.

Step 2

Add in the lemon juice and egg, beat again to combine.

Step 3

Gradually add in the flour, baking soda and salt, mixing by hand with a spatula until combined.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the dough from the fridge. Pre-heat the oven to 350ºF. Place 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl for rolling the cookies.

Step 6

Use a cookie scoop to form balls, rolling each ball into the sugar. Place the cookies 2 inches apart on a silicone lined baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until the edges have a faint golden color.

Step 7

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.
