Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine butter and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Mix flour, lemon zest, and salt in a separate bowl. Pour over butter mixture; beat until combined. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface and cut into cookies.

Cook's Note: You can roll the dough into 2 logs and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, then slice and bake.
