Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, lemon juice, and zest; mix until smooth.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
