- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

- Place each ball into the prepared muffin tin and gently press down to form a cup shape.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and immediately press the center of each cookie with a spoon to maintain the cup shape. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
