In a bowl, rub the lemon zest into the sugar to release its natural oils. Then whisk in the melted butter

Add the egg, lemon juice, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.

Sift in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Fold gently until just combined—don’t overmix!

Scoop the dough using a large ice cream scoop and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to overnight)

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C)

Roll the chilled dough between your hands, then gently press it onto a lined baking sheet
