OLD-FASHIONED LEMON COOKIES



Old-Fashioned Lemon Cookies image

This came from an old cookbook at my grandmothers. Sometimes when I make these, instead of sprinkling additional sugar and lemon zest on top before baking, I like to finely crush sour lemon candy and sprinkle lightly on each cookie. Press gently into dough and then bake.
