    Recipe: My Sis In Law's Fabulous Soft Lemon Sugar Cookes! You HAVE To Make These!
    My sis in law diane made these for a wedding and brought some extra over sunday. wow are these good! I immediately asked for the recipe - soft, lemony, sweet - so good - you have to make these! we all loved them.


    Soft Lemon Sugar Cookies

    1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel (set aside)

    2 teaspoons lemon juice

    1/3 cup milk

    1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened

    1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

    3/4 cup sugar

    1 egg

    1 teaspoon baking powder

    1/4 teaspoon baking soda


    Lemon Glaze (see below)


    In a glass measure, stir lemon juice into milk, then let stand for 5 minutes.

    In a bowl, beat margarine or butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed about 30 seconds.

    Add the sugar, egg, baking powder, baking soda, lemon peel, milk mixture, and half of the flour to the margarine/butter. Beat until thoroughly combined, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Then beat or stir in the remaining flour.

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

    Drop dough from a rounded teaspoon 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. (do not overbake) Transfer cookies to a wire rack. Brush the tops of the warm cookies with Lemon Glaze, then cool. Makes 48 cookies.


    LEMON GLAZE: In a small mixing bowl, stir together 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. (Makes 3 tablespoons of glaze.)

    These DO sound good! I bet they would be good using orange juice and orange zest too. I've been looking for a recipe like this. Now if it would just cool off a little----

    These sound wonderful. We have several Lemon Lovers in this family and a wonderful lemon tree. Always looking for lemon recipes. As soon as it cools off we will start baking. Debra

    These do sound really good so thanks for sharing it. I have a question.....usually when you make a glaze you use powdered sugar. Does this use regular sugar or powdered sugar for the glaze?
