How To Make lemon icebox cookies

1
Combine 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, egg, and egg yolk; blend well. Add flour, baking powder, salt, lemon juice, and zest; mix well. Shape dough into two 1 1/2 inch thick rolls; wrap in wax paper. Refrigerate for one hour, or until firm. Combine nuts and remaining sugar in a small bowl. Slightly beat egg white. Brush dough with egg white; roll in nut mixture, pressing in nuts firmly. Slice dough 1/4 inch thick.
