Drop Sugar Cookies

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl and mix well.

Whisk eggs in a large bowl until blended. Add sugar, oil, vanilla, and lemon zest. Mix well. Stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until blended. Chill for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Drop the cookie dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Mist the bottom of a 3-inch flat-bottom glass with water, and dip glass in additional sugar. Press the top of each cookie lightly with the glass to flatten. Mist and dip glass in sugar before pressing each cookie.

Bake until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
