Lemon Sugar Cookies Recipe

My family constantly harasses me for not liking chocolate. I've never been tempted by a chocolate chip cookie, or a piece of chocolate cake, but place anything lemon in front of me and I can't help myself! These Lemon Sugar Cookies were no different. I'm already planning on making another batch later this week!

I may be a chocoholic but these cookies got me from the first bite. Actually, I lie. It was from the first bite of cookie dough because after one taste, I was hooked! Since my Mom loves all things lemon, I decided I had to break free from my chocolate love affair and make something that she would love – a sweet, soft lemon sugar cookie.


She was smitten with the first taste! This cookie is bursting with fresh lemon flavor without being too tart and if you could imagine a marriage between a soft sugar cookie and a tangy lemon, you will get this delectable lemon sugar cookie.

This is a soft, chewy lemon cookie with a light lemon flavor.  It is a simple, crowd-pleasing recipe that everyone loves! Add more lemon zest for extra lemon flavor.
