    These lemon cookies are delicious and perfect when you want something lemony and sweet!

    Friends...it's Katie from Made to be a Momma again!  I am more than ready for spring and summer weather!  I live in Northeastern Pennsylvania and blizzard "Stella" dumped 27 inches of snow on us just a few weeks ago.  Nothing reminds me more of sunshine filled days than a delicious lemon flavor filled cookie.  These lemon sugar cookies aren't overly sweet so it's easy to eat a couple at one time.  The dough has lemon in it but I also rolled the cookies in a delicious lemon zest sugar mixture that gives these cookies an extra punch of lemon right as you bite into them.

        How about making them first and then leaving a review? We don’t care that you all think these will probably be nice. We want to know if you made them and if you liked them.
