Stacia's Notes:

I just posted another lemon cookie recipe too. Here is Lemon Cookie #2. I had been searching JAP for a simple lemon cookie not made with a cake mix and had given up after five pages. I went and dug through recipes I'd clipped out or written down for the last recipe I posted. This one is from MyBakingAddiction.com.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. Line cookie sheet(s) with parchment paper

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

In a larger bowl, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla, zest, and juice.

Add in dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Roll rounded spoonfuls of dough into balls and roll in sugar.

Place on cookies sheets, 1-2 inches apart.

Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cool for two minutes on cookie sheet before moving them to wire racks.

love this recipe, I have a customer who is always looking for a new lemon dessert, and she loved these.. I added a tsp of lemon extract to make them "pucker" and it was a big hit, thank you for sharing. :)

I featured "lemon" for my business dessert of the month, and 3 of my customers ordered these. My feedback on the scorecards I make up, were all 10's.

Do I have to use parchment paper or can I use Pam nonstick spray?

Oh these look so good! I will make these for a spring dessert. Anyone that knows what Archway cookies are, probably knows about the Lemon Icebox cookies they carry or use to. I loved them, and was looking for a recipe like them, but haven't found it yet, so will try these. Thanks for sharing.
