Lemon Sugar Cookies

Yummy! This recipe has a pleasant fresh lemon flavor, and the cookies come out of the oven soft and stay enjoyably soft even after they cool - just the way I like em. They go great with tea, and cut nicely into holiday shapes even without the extra refrigeration time (on a well floured surface). A definite keeper.

I was distracted by my family and mis-wrote the ingredients! I wrote down 4 tsp. baking soda and 1 tsp. of baking powder instead of just 4 tsp. of baking powder! I felt dumb of course :D

But when all is said and done these cookies turned out nicely. They were not as sweet as I thought they would be but tasty all the same. The dough was easy to roll out (I used parchment paper) and the cookies were fun to decorate! I found that 10 min was too long for my oven so I reduced baking time.

These cookies did not have that weird sugar cookie taste that most recipes do and I will definitely use this recipe again!
