Add egg, lemon zest and vanilla, and beat everything in order to combine. Stir in the dry ingredients with a spoon. Once this is prepared, form balls of dough and place them on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches apart from each cookie. Gently press the center of each cookie with tip of your finger. Bake the cookies 28 to 30 minutes, one batch at a time, until the edges are lightly golden. Once you get them if the oven, immediately put them to a wire rack in order to cool completely.
