Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for the dough)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Zest of 1 large lemon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).

- Gradually add the flour, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
