Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
• In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
• Add the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined; do not overmix.
• Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
• Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
