Remove from oven and cool cookies about 3 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
Let's Dish
These cheerful cookies, with their fresh lemon flavor, have Spring written all over them. Of course, that shouldn't stop you from making them any time of year, because they're absolutely delicious. I have a lemon cookie recipe that uses a cake mix, but these are so much better! And it really dooesnt take much more time to make them from scratch. I'm a soft and chewy cookie person, so I love that these cookies stay soft for several days. This is one of the easiest, tastiest cookie recipes I've tried, and a nice change from the chocolate and chocolate chips varieties I usuall make. You really should bake up a batch right away!

I was recently given some lemons from a friend's garden and didn't know what to make with them. So I started looking up some recipes on Pinterest and came across this recipe. Tonight, I made them and they are absolutely fabulous! Can't wait to share them with friends! Thanks for sharing the recipe!!
