Ingredients 

• 2 Sticks of Butter (cool but not room temp)
• 1 Egg
• 1 Cup of Sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla
• 1 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice
• 1/2 tsp Salt (I skip this if I use salted butter)
• 3 Cups of All Purpose Flour

Directions

• Whip butter in a stand mixer until smooth
• Add sugar and whip until light and fluffy
• Add egg, vanilla, and lemon juice
• Whip until combined
• Add salt (if you used unsalted butter)
• Add flour a cup at a time, mixing between cups
• Mix dough until it sticks to paddled and the side of the bowl are clean
• Wrap in saran wrap and let rest for 30 minutes

Rolling & Baking

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees - use an oven thermometer! Ovens lie!
• Roll out dough between two pieces of saran wrap or parchment
• I use a Joseph&Joseph rolling pin with guides set to 3/8"
• There is no need to use flour when rolling out
• Using flour will change the taste of the dough
• Cut the dough using desired cookie cutters -  I prefer Cut It Out Cutters - lol yeah I'm hilarious
• Bake cookies on a silpat-like mat or parchment
• I use amazon basics mats - they rock and they're cheap
• Bake for 6 min - rotate pan - and bake for a few more min
• It really depends on the size of cookies you have but use your best judgement
• Tips: I don't over bake. This results in rock hard cookies once they've cooled. I shoot for barely done cookies and let them sit on the hot pan until cooled - they'll continue to bake.
