Beat in lemon juice.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold in with a rubber spatula just until combined.

Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets.

Place the remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a saucer.

Coat the bottom of a wide-bottomed glass with cooking spray and dip it in the sugar.

Flatten the dough with the glass into 2 1/2-inch circles, dipping the glass in the sugar each time.

Bake the cookies until they are just starting to brown around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes.

Transfer to a flat surface (not a rack) to crisp.
