Bake for 10-14 minutes until bottoms are lightly browned and the cookie is cooked through but has slightly soft centers. The cookies will continue baking after they are removed from the oven so the centers should still be soft, but not glossy or raw, when they are removed from the oven.

Remove the cookie tray from the oven and immediately tap the tray on the counter to produce a more “wrinkly” cookie. Then, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes. The cookies will be soft and puffy out of the oven and will naturally deflate a little while cooling.

Once the cookies have cooled, serve and enjoy!

bake

Bake the cookies for 11-13 minutes. You&#39;re looking for a nice light golden brown around the edges, and some crackling along the top.

Such a great cookie! They were gone in a flash! I love the buttery goodness along with the lemon.

I love the small batch recipes! Lemon cookies are my favorite so I am picky, but this recipe had the perfect texture and flavor! I will definitely make again.

Love how easy these are to make! I doubled the recipe knowing I’d want to share with a friend who particularly loves lemony sweet treats! 🍋

These were very tasty and easy to make. I'll make them again soon.

We loved these! The perfect amount to gobble up as a family in one go-round. Subtle lemon perfection. Will be making them again soon!

My father in law has been asking me to recreate the Pepperidge Farm ojai lemon cookies, and this recipe was perfect! He wanted a crispy cookie, so I used all white sugar and cooked them longer. They turned out perfectly, and the small batch was such a nice amount!

These were SO good. I wanted them I little taller, so I put the dough in the freezer for a bit before baking. I'm not sure if it worked, but they were super soft and yummy. I will definitely be making these again. Great size for  just a couple people (or myself :) )

Turned out SOOOO good. Everything I didn’t know I needed. And the small batch is great!

So lemony delicious!! I especially love the slightly crispy edges that becomes slightly cakey and then you reach the ooey gooey center! 😋 I know it’s supposed to be small batch, but I have so many lemons from our tree right now that I just HAD to double the recipe and then make a second double batch! Darn it! Such a horrible problem to have! 😉

Delish! Quick and easy recipe with a tasty result. I was thrown off by no vanilla in the recipe because I swear vanilla is in every cookie, but I think it would have overpowered the lemon flavor. It is perfect as written. The cookie was yummy without being overly tart. The extra sprinkle of sugar at then end was the perfect touch. This recipe is a keeper.

Wow what a cookie to warm up this January day! Subtle lemony flavor and so so chewy and delicious! Perfect sprinkle of sugar on top to finish this cookie off! Will definitely be making again!

These were delicious! Nice and fresh! Almost like lemon meringue pie

Doubled the recipe because I knew 5 cookies just wouldn’t be enough for me😂, and they were DELICIOUS!! They have the perfect amount of lemon in them, and the extra little bit of sugar added at the end was best suggestion!!

These were easy to make and packed with flavour!!! 
Thanks for another great recipe :)

One of my favorite cookies! The flavor and texture is on point. My friends and family all enjoyed them. I loved the chewy inside. I doubled the recipe and I had to share so I wouldn't eat the entire batch.

I’ve now made these 4 times this month and yes they are getting better but they were never not good. Great recipe, easy to make and easy to follow.

We made these cookies and they were incredible!! So soft!! I loved the amount of lemon zest!!! Ohhh so perfect!! We love lemon!! Loved how soft and chewy!!!

This is my viral no-chill, no-spread cutout sugar cookie with a lemon twist! The Lemon Cutout Sugar Cookies are ultra soft with a luscious lemon frosting and a slight tang that you’ll love.

Lemon Cutout Cookies

(222 grams) salted butter, softened

(230 grams) granulated sugar

Tbsp lemon zest (*zest of 2 lemons)

Tbsp lemon juice (*from zested lemons)

lemon flavoring

(456 grams) all-purpose flour

(111 grams) salted butter, softened

(321 grams) powdered sugar

heavy cream

Yellow gel food coloring, if desired

White sanding sugar, if desired

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Cream together the butter, sugar, and lemon zest in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the egg, lemon juice, and lemon flavoring. Mix until combined.

Add flour and baking powder to the bowl. Mix slowly at first, gradually increasing the speed until the dough comes together. The texture should be like Playdoh - add a little flour if it’s too wet or water if it is too dry in order to reach a soft, pliable consistency.

Roll the dough onto parchment paper or a floured surface with a rolling pin until ¼ to ½ -inch thick. (The cookies will not rise or spread while baking, so roll out to your desired FINISHED thickness).

Use cookie cutters and cut out desired shapes, I used a 3” round cutter. Transfer the cookies to an un-greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 7-9 minutes or until the centers are puffy and no longer glossy. Pull the cookies out of the oven BEFORE they start turning brown. If they turn brown, the cookie will be dry and 'crackery' instead of soft and chewy.

Transfer to a cooling rack to cool before decorating.

To make the lemon frosting add the butter to the bowl of your stand mixer and mix until smooth.

Alternate adding 1 cup of powdered sugar and a splash of heavy cream, allowing the mixture to fully combine before adding more powdered sugar. Repeat until all 3 cups are added.

Add in the lemon juice and lemon flavoring and mix well.

Adjust the thickness of your frosting by adding more heavy cream to thin to a pipe-able consistency if needed.

Remove ⅔ cup of the white frosting and place in a piping bag with a very small tip inserted.

Add yellow gel coloring to the remaining frosting in your mixing bowl until the desired color is achieved.

Working one cookie at a time, spread a layer of yellow frosting on and then pipe a white border around the edge and lines through the center to look like lemon segments.
