Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
Zest of 2 lemons
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut in 1-inch pieces, plus more for buttering cookie sheets
3 egg whites
1 cup sifted flour
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon strained fresh lemon juice

Steps:

In a food processor, combine sugar and lemon zest. Process until zest is finely minced, about 1 minute. Stop the machine, and scrape down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula. Add butter, and process until creamy, about 20 seconds. With processor running, add egg whites. Continue to process, adding flour (1 tablespoon at a time), salt, vanilla and lemon juice. Process until a thick batter is formed. Scrape into a small bowl, and stir to combine thoroughly.
Place a rack in center of oven, and heat to 400 degrees. While oven is heating, let batter sit at room temperature, about 15 minutes. Butter and flour 2 cookie sheets.
Drop rounded teaspoons of batter on prepared baking sheets, and bake for about 8 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Remove at once to a cooling rack.
