Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Beat in the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and a soft dough forms.
Lightly grease a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
Press the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared skillet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the cookie to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
