Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, powdered sugar, salt, and grated lemon zest until smooth.
3
Add all-purpose flour to the butter mixture and blend until well combined. The dough will resemble very coarse sand.
4
Mix in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. Knead the dough a few times until it comes together.
5
Divide the dough in half and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
6
Roll out one half of the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out cookies.
7
Place the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 6 minutes, or until they are just set but not browned.
8
Remove the baked cookies and let them cool on a wire rack. Repeat the rolling and baking process with the remaining dough.
