I made this using Martha Stewart's recipe available online. They came out lovely. She uses all purpose flour/ maida but I quite strongly oppose the use of maida in bakes as it is not the healthiest. So, here I use whole wheat flour instead. They taste good!

Steps

1

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl, that is, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and lemon zest.
2

In another bowl, beat the sugar and butter together till it's fluffy. You can use a whisk or an electric mixer.
3

Add the lemon juice, egg and vanilla to the sugar butter mix and continue whisking till it's fluffy.
4

Lastly, slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl, slowly whisking away as you do it.
5

Preheat oven to 180 degree Celsius.
6

The dough is sticky, so use butter on your hands and make cookie balls and flatten them on your pan.

Bake for 20 minutes or until the sides brown.
8

Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
