1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 lemon, zested and juiced
In a bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together the sugar and butter and then add in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Be sure everything is combined.
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for one hour.
