Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, cream softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time along with lemon juice, zest, and vanilla extract.
Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture until just mixed.
Chill dough for 30 minutes to prevent spreading.
Scoop dough into balls and roll in powdered sugar before placing on the baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft. Cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
