At the time I tasted them and commented, I hadn’t frosted them yet. I keep fresh lemons all the time, so I squeezed the juice of 2 lemon wedges into the frosting and oh wow!

Thanks for the positive feedback….this is one of my go to recipes that is always a big hit. I have made the frosting with lemon extract added and it is wonderful!

I made these cookies this morning and there is just one word for them…melt in your mouth scrumptiousness!
I plan on making this cookie a lot and maybe adding lemon or orange zest to the batter or frosting.
But I made one mistake with this recipe…I didn’t double it!

I made these cookies and there are amazing. I did add two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and the zest of one lemon to the dough and they are soooo good! I didnt do the frosting at all..I thought the cookies were tasty enough without!
