Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden.
Remove from oven and cool slightly on the pan for 5 minutes.
While still warm, roll cookies in the remaining powdered sugar to coat.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, optionally roll again in powdered sugar for an extra sweet finish.

Notes

For a more intense lemon flavor, add a few drops of lemon extract.
