Ingredients

1 1/2 cups flour all-purpose, gluten free
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice + extra
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, and baking powder until evenly mixed.

Add in the oil, egg, extracts and lemon juice and mix the dough together by hand.  The dough crumbles when it is too dry; adding a little bit of lemon juice to get them the texture of Play-Doh makes them just right for shaping into cookies.

Mold the dough into 1-inch balls and then flatten them gently into a cookie shape in your hands.  If the dough is too dry and crumbles, add a little more lemon juice to wet it and bring it to the right consistency.

With clean hands, pour the powdered sugar into a shallow bowl or dish.  Drop the cookies on both sides onto the powdered sugar to coat the outside.  Put the sugar-covered cookies onto a non-stick baking tray and repeat until all of the dough is used up.

Bake for 18 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely before moving them.
