Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon peel
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt (1 pinch)

- Powdered sugar
How to Make
-
Step 1: Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add sugar, and beat until well blended. Add egg, lemon juice, vanilla extract and lemon peel until blended.
-
Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. Gradually combine the dry ingredients into the butter mixture at low speed, blending well after each addition.
-
Step 3: Shape dough into 2 logs about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 - 3 hours. They can be stored for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or in the freezer for a later time.
-
Step 4: Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place parchment paper on a cookie sheet and spray with cooking oil.
-
Step 5: Slice the cookies 1/2 inch thick, coat them with powdered sugar and place them 1-inch apart on the cookie sheet.
-
Step 6: Bake about 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Store them in an airtight container. If you have a sweet tooth, you can also dip the cookies again in powdered sugar before serving them.
