How to Make Lemon Wafers

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each wafer.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the wafers cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
