I love that these cookies are filled with the taste of summer! Double the recipe so you can share with a friend or neighbor!
These cookies have a delicious hint of lemon, they’re a melt in your mouth texture and they have a tiny bit of crunch right around the outside making them the perfect snack!
The ingredients are simple and easy which is another reason this recipe is perfect! Plus, who doesn't enjoy the fresh taste of lemon?!
– If you’re out of lemon or not a fan, you could easily omit the lemon flavor. – For a fun treat, turn the Lemon Sugar Cookies into a refreshing ice cream sandwich.
Possible Variations:
If you are making balls of dough that are around 2 tablespoons of dough, you should get roughly 2 dozen cookies. I like to double it!
How many cookies does this recipe make?
Yes! If I want to ensure we have some cookies for the cookie jar, I’ll double the recipe or even triple it!
Do you ever make a double batch?
I would highly recommend using a wire rack. It helps the cookies cool without getting soggy from steam. If you don't have one they are fairly cheap!
Do I need a wire rack for cooling?
I’m sure you could mix them by hand, but I prefer to use my trusty Kitchenaid mixer with the paddle attachment. Makes it easier and the dough comes together easier!
Can I mix the cookies by hand or do I need to use a hand mixer or Kitchenaid?
I’ve never used a rolling pin or cookie cutters on this recipe. I’m not sure the dough would be firm enough.
Can you cut out shapes with this recipe?
