Greek Butter Cookies Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the egg yolk, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

Gradually add the flour and salt to the mixture, mixing until just combined.

Roll the dough into small balls and place them on a greased baking sheet.

Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
