    1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    1 egg
    1/3 cup lemon juice
    2 3/4 cups flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder

    In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter and sugar until creamy. Add egg and lemon juice; beat well.
    In seperate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Gradually beat flour mixture into creamed mixture. Beat until well-mixed. Dough will be soft!
    Divide dough in half. Wrap each half in wax paper then plastic wrap and chill at least 2 hours in FREEZER.
