Method
 

  1. Cream together the softened butter and confectioners' sugar in a large mixing bowl for about 3-4 minutes until fluffy.
  2. Add the lightly beaten egg, lemon zest, and vanilla extract; mix on low speed until combined.
  3. Gradually add the sifted flour, one cup at a time, mixing until no dry patches remain.
  4. Turn the dough onto plastic wrap, shape into a flat disc, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness and cut with cookie cutters.
