Dicie's Greek Christmas Cookies (Kourambiethes)

1 cup butter, room temperature
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp lemon juice
2 cups flour
Additional powdered sugar for coating

Preheat oven to 350*. Place butter in bowl and whip until light and fluffy, about 10-15 min. Add egg yolk and blend with butter. Add in 1/4 c. powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Add flour and mix until soft dough is formed. Use more flour as needed. Form small 1" balls of dough and place on baking sheet. Flatten slightly by pressing finger into center. Bake for 20 min. or until cookies are lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and, when cool enough to handle, sprinkle or toss in powdered sugar.
