Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the condensed milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.

Fold in the lemon zest for added flavor.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a fork or your hand.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
