Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line cookie sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Zest entire lemon. Juice lemon to measure 1 tbsp. In small bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; mix well. In 2-qt. mixing bowl, beat butter and granulated sugar on medium speed of electric hand mixer until creamy. Add egg yolk, lemon zest and juice; beat until light and fluffy.
