chewy lemon snowdrop cookies

I found these a while back on a random food blog and didn't write down which one, but I finally made them tonight and they are super yummy. Jeremy even really likes them and they're lemon!  

chewy lemon snowdrop cookies

1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
pinch of salt
8 tablespoons butter
zest of 2 lemons (finely zested)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup agave nectar or honey
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons lemon juice
about 1 cup powdered sugar, for coating

 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
 2. In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter, lemon zest, sugar, and agave nectar. Mix until very smooth, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and mix in salt.
 3. In a small cup, combine the lemon juice baking soda. With the mixer on low, add in flour and lemon juice mixture. Scrape down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula and mix the dough by hand a few times to ensure an even distribution of the ingredients.
4. Roll the dough into balls, one inch in diameter. Bake for 10 minutes - remove when golden around edges. Let cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheets , and then dip in powdered sugar to coat.
