Delightful lemon flavored cookies. These cookies had a wonderful lemon flavor and the texture was perfect…chewy with a little crisp. These cookies are incredibly easy to make and the perfect treat for anyone who loves lemon desserts! They were a tad too sweet but all in all delicious. I made these to take over to my in laws for Christmas last year (my father in law likes lemon things). My mother in law and her sisters raved on them said that their grandma made cookies just like these and she died before anyone was able to get the recipe for them.
