I want my cookies to be filled with flavor, have a bit of chew to them but also a tiny bit of texture around the outside. Lemon is the perfect cheap way to bring spring into your kitchen!
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!
They’re the type of cookie that you can’t just have one. I promise the ingredients are simple and cheap! You can buy fresh lemons or even use lemon juice you have on hand!
– 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--they go so fast!
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!
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?
