This is a recipe that came about because of my love of all things lemon! My kids and grandkids love snickerdoodles (don't we all!) One night I was playing around and thought I want to make a lemon cookie couldn't find a recipe that I liked so decided that I would experiment. This is what I came up with! Hope you all like them. p.s. my brother in law says I am a goddess of the kitchen when I make these! lol!

I just couldn't walk away from this plate of cookies! Lightly sweet and lightly lemony, these delicate cookies really hit the spot. I recommend serving these delicious treats ANY time of the day. The Test Kitchen

How to Make Lemony Doodles

Step-by-Step

Cream together shortening, eggs and sugar until creamy.
In a separate bowl mix together flour and all other dry ingredients.
Add dry ingredient to creamed mixture. Add the zest of a lemon and mix. (Set aside the lemon for later use.)
FOR LEMON SUGAR: In a small bowl mix granulated sugar and a few drops of lemon juice. Mix thoroughly.
Form dough into balls using a generous teaspoonful. Roll into lemon sugar to coat.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, watching carefully (ovens differ).
