Ingredients

* 1 cup all purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 5 tbsp stick margarine, softened
* 1/3 cup granulated sugar
* 1 tsp grated lemon zest
* 2 drops yellow food coloring
* 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
* 2 tbsp granulated sugar

Method

Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray nonstick baking sheets with vegetable cooking spray, set aside. In a small bowl, combine flour and baking powder. In a medium mixing bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, cream margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in lemon zest and food coloring. Alternately beat in flour mixture and lemon juice until well blended. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll in 2 tbsp sugar. Place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Using the tines of a fork, press a criss-cross patter onto each cookie. Bake until edges are lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.
