Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Beat sugar and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, egg, and vanilla extract; beat on low speed to combine, scraping down the sides of the bowl to evenly incorporate.
3. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl; beat into sugar mixture on low speed until just incorporated. Beat in remaining 2 tablespoons flour.
