Steps:
- Cream sugar, butter, and lemon zest together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Combine eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a cup; mix using a fork until combined. Beat into egg mixture slowly on low speed.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add to egg mixture slowly on low speed until just combined. Do not overbeat; dough will be sticky. Cover and chill dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes; it will still be sticky after chilling.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Form dough into balls using a cookie scoop or tablespoon and roll each in powdered sugar. Place onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Lightly smash each ball down using your hand.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the middle of each cookie is just barely set, 11 to 12 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack completely before storing in an airtight container.

EASY REFRIGERATOR LEMON COOKIES
This is my adopted recipe as of Feb 2005. I made these today and found very good. A very delicate cookie. I didn't leave enough room between the cookies in the first batch and they ran into each other when baking. They still taste good. The original poster describes below where she got the recipe. The Lemon Lovers Cookbook The Chicago Sun-Times Peg Bailey has a passion for lemons. Having lived all over the world, Bailey is able to cull the best national dishes from places such as Greece, Malta, England, and her home in Virginia for The Lemon Lovers Cookbook. The recipes are never overly complicated, and most are ideal for weekday cooking. Exotic fare such as Aegean shrimp and caviar mousse exist peacefully with all-American staples such as carrot cake and lemon bars. Easy Refrigerator Lemon Cookies These cookies are great in the summer with a bowl of fresh fruit. Plan ahead, though, as you have to leave the dough in the refrigerator for several hours before baking.
