Step by Step Method

Step 1

Prepare lemon sugar: In a mini food processor, blend 1/2 cup of sugar sugar with 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Pulse several times until the lemon zest is incorporated into the sugar. Put sugar mixture in a shallow bowl and stir lightly with a fork to break up any clumps. Set aside.

Step 2

For the cookie dough: In a medium bowl, stir together flour, salt, cream of tartar and baking soda. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and remaining 1 1/2 cup of sugar. Blend in eggs, one at a time then add vanilla, lemon juice, and remaining lemon zest. Add flour mixture, one cup at a time, blending well after each addition, until all flour is incorporated.

Step 4

Refrigerate dough for one hour.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place parchment paper onto a large cookie sheet or grease with cooking spray.

Step 6

After one hour chilling time, using a jumbo cookie scoop or your hands, shape two tablespoonfuls of dough into a ball and roll in lemon sugar. Place ball of dough on cookie sheet and press down lightly with the bottom of a glass until cookie is about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 7

Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees.

Delicious! We love the lemony taste of these yummy cookies. My little one had 5 last night and now wants them for breakfast! I had to hide the tin (ha ha)!

Delicious! I didn't make a full batch, but cut it by half. I made regular size cookies so it yielded quite a few even with half a batch. I used glaze and red and green sprinkles on top.
