Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and softened unsalted butter, then beat on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the large egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the creamed mixture, then beat for about 1 minute until smooth.
  4. Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually blend into the wet ingredients for 1-2 minutes until just combined.
  5. Stir in fresh lemon juice and lemon zest until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden at the edges with slightly set centers.
  8. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
