Instructions:
- Melt the margarine until fully melted

- Whisk until the sugar begins to dissolve and the mixture starts to expand
Crack the egg and separate the white from the yolk then add the egg yolk to the bowl
Stir briefly
Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the bowl
Stir again
Gradually add the all-purpose flour until the dough begins to thicken and forms a fairly firm dough
Chill the dough for 30 minutes in the chiller
- After 30 minutes, remove the dough and scoop out 1 scoop of dough, then roll it in a mixture of sugar and lemon zest
Place on baking paper
Repeat until all the dough is used up
