I adopted this recipe in 9/2006. The name alone was enough to get my attention as I love lemon. These have a VERY subtle lemon taste - they more like a sugar cookie actually.

72 -96 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
3 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
sugar

Directions

1
Cream butter and sugar.
2
Add sour cream; blend well.
3
Add vanilla and lemon juice or extract.
4
Add dry ingredients.
5
Chill 3 to 4 hours.
6
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
7
Grease cookie sheets.
8
Shape dough into small balls and roll in extra sugar.
9
Flatten balls using the bottom of a glass after arranging on cookie sheets.
10
Bake 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

These were great! I followed the recipe exactly because I wanted a very light lemon taste, just a whisper of lemon. These turned out perfect, cripsy but not too crispy and still a little chewy! We gave half a batch to some friends who recently had a loss in their family and they loved them as well! Thanks for posting! Made for Holiday Tag November 2009!

Delicious cookies! They turned out crispy around the edges and slightly chewy in the centers. I used lemon extract, which gave them a nice zippy lemony flavor. Also used pastel colored sugar to roll them in, which reinforced the fresh, summery character of these cookies. Thanks for posting, ~Sue

I don't know which is better the dough or the cookie!! LOL I told Color Guard Mom that I was going to have to hide the dough from my kids. I was right, they took one taste and I had to put a chain and lock on the refrigerator door. The one thing nice about the kids getting into the dough is that there are no eggs in this recipe to worry about.I used a fresh lemon and then added some zest as some of the other reviewers did. Made for Potluck Tag game 2008 for Dreamer's 'Let's Take Our Dogs for a Hike' party

Absolutely delicious! Just took first batch out of the oven and couldnt wait to try it. Absolutely wonderful. I used the juice of one large lemon and the zest on the lemon to give that extra zip.
