These delicious lemon cookies are the perfect food to get you out of a winter funk and into the spring mindset.
By Stephanie Beadle
It’s almost spring! Which means days of below zero wind chills are going to be behind us soon. I wanted to make a lighter but delicious batch of cookies to celebrate instead of the heavy chocolate or peanut butter cookies that I usually make. Lemon anything is easily my favorite dessert type, so why not mix lemon and sugar to make a delicious cookie! 
These cookies are the perfect food to get you out of a winter funk and into the spring mindset!

I followed the recipe exactly and when I cooked the cookies (I tried this recipe twice), they flattened out and turned brown on the edges.
At what temperature should these cookies be baked? Also, what about preparation for the cookie sheet? Is any needed?
Stephanie, the recipe is missing the temperature of the baking oven.
I’ve got the batter mixed, but there is no temperature listed.
HELP!
