Ingredients in Lemon Cookies
THE BASICS: Almost all cookies need flour, sugar, egg, baking soda, powder, and salt. But what makes these cookies extra soft and fluffy is the addition of Greek yogurt, for the rise and tart flavor. LEMON: Use fresh lemon juice and fresh lemon zest for the best lemon flavor. FROSTING: This is a buttery frosting and it’s easy to make with butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, lemon zest, and juice.
How to Make Lemon Cookies
FROSTING:
Tips
Use room temperature ingredients. No time for frosting? Simply dust powdered sugar over the cookies for an equally delicious cookie. Put frosting between two cookies & make lemon cookie sandwiches!
Storing
Lemon cookies will keep at room temperature for up to 3 to 4 days in a sealed container or freeze them for up to 3 months, unfrosted.
