Preheat the oven to 165Β°C and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, stir the flour and powdered sugar together. Now add the softened butter, the vanilla and the zest and mix with a hand mixer on low-medium speed until blended well. The dough will look crumbly and soft but should smush together when squeezed in your hands.
Place a sheet of parchment paper on your countertop and sprinkle with a little flour, then form the dough into a ball and place in the middle of the parchment paper.
Use another piece of parchment paper for the top, sprinkling a little flour on top of the dough to prevent sticking, and roll the dough to about 1 centimeter thick. Cut into desired shapes (we used flower shaped cookie cutters) and place on the prepared baking sheets.
Continue re-rolling the dough until it is all used. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the bottom is just slightly golden. Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
