Homemade Lemon Sugar Cookies
Lemon is one of my favorite flavors and of course, paired with sugar it’s simply delicious in almost anything. These melt in your mouth lemon sugar cookies are soft, fluffy and taste amazing.
Not much can beat the flavor of freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest. You could try substituting bottled lemon juice, but it really won’t be the same as fresh. (In my humble opinion, bottled lemon juice tastes like Windex and I avoid it at all costs, but maybe that’s just me.)
