Ingredients:

100g butter, softened

80g caster sugar

1 egg yolk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 lemon

150g plain flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

Cooking Instructions:

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark

Line two baking trays with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until combined. Stir in the lemon zest.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this to the creamed mixture until it forms a soft dough.

Roll tablespoons of dough into balls and place on prepared baking trays, leaving space between each cookie for spreading during baking. Flatten slightly with your hand or the back of a spoon.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown around the edges but still slightly soft in the centre. Allow to cool on trays for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
