Simple Lemon Cookies

Lemon Cookies

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon lemon extract

Freshly-grated lemon zest

2 cups all purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter, sugar, lemon juice, extract, and zest in a mixing bowl. Slowly stir in the four. Drop teaspoonfuls of dough (or use a cookie scoop) onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

Remember, a lemon drizzle of glaze is not over the top!
