Ok, I’m here. I had to literally put the cookies down walked away, to my laptop, to write about, yes that’s right, Lemon Cookies. I try so hard to not make cookies because they are too easy to pig out on. At least for me. Austin now asks in the mornings after cookies have been made if there are any left, not can she have one but if there are any left. Basically she is asking if Momma ate them all.
- 1/2 cup soften margarine/butter
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 1/2 cups flour
Start by mixing butter, eggs and sugar together. I start all recipes this way. No idea why, maybe my mother does? Add lemon juice, salt and baking powder.
{I love watching the chemical reactions when baking/cooking. Great science lessons for little ones too.}
Add flour and mix completely.
Make your cookies small, they aren’t going to fluff up or spread out. You don’t want big uncooked and burnt cookies, my specialty. My second batch into the oven I used a fork to flatten a little.
Cook at 350 for 12- 15 minutes. A little golden around the edges and on the bottom. Yum.
Now back to eating cooks before the little ones get up and expect me to share.
Those look yummy. I love lemony things of all kinds. These look like a super easy recipe as well and we have some lemons I could squeeze to possibly make some soon :0) Thanks for the recipe.

These look easy and yummy too! I just walked away from a batch of chocolate chip cookies. But, they are still calling my name from the kitchen! Sigh.

Hope you like them!
Since going gluten free the one thing I have missed are those lemon girl scout cookies (well lemon cookies in general) these sound wonderful and I will have to try with my gluten free flour! Thank you!
My oldest son loves everything lemon. And these look so good and so easy to bake! Thanks!
