Ingredients:  
2 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
1/4 cup lemon juice
zest of 1 lemon
1 egg
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F and prepare a cookie sheet by lining with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter and 1 1/4 cups sugar until pale and fluffy, scraping down the sides as necessary. Beat in the zest until well combined.
With the mixer on medium speed, add the egg then the lemon juice, beating until incorporated. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined.
Using a spoon, scoop out 1-inch balls of dough and roll in your hands to make a sphere. Drop into a small bowl of the remaining sugar and roll gently with your fingertips to coat the dough on all sides.
Space the dough balls abt 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet and bake until the edges are cooked but the tops are still puffy, about 8 to 10 minutes. The cookies will be barely golden at the edges and still look ever so slightly undercooked on top. Cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes, until the tops have fallen and crinkled. Remove to a cooling rack.
