Ingredients - Serves 24

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
Add the softened butter, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until a dough forms.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Use a cookie cutter to cut out the cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are cool, dust with the additional powdered sugar.
