Ingredients

1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup sour cream
2 TBSP lemon juice
1 TBSP lemon zest
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup softened butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 TBSP milk
2 TBSP lemon juice
1 TBSP lemon zest
4 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together butter and sugar. Add egg, vanilla, sour cream, lemon juice and zest.
Gently whisk together dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients to butter mixture and mix to combine. Continue process, adding 1/3 of the dry ingredients at a time until it's all mixed in.
Scoop out 1.5 TBSP of dough and roll into a ball. You can use a medium cookie scoop to make this process faster. Rolling the cookie ball is optional, but I wanted very pretty cookies, so I took the additional 5 seconds and rolled them individually. Place on parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 for 10 minutes. Cool fully before frosting.
