Easy and Delicious Lemon Cookies
I brought four batches of these to a tea we had for our womens guild at church and they went over very big. I got many compliments and was asked for the recipe several times. For me, that is the best compliment.
I decided to write a lens to share this simple recipe.

1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
2 Eggs
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice

Lemon Cookies
my favorite recipe
Add all ingredients in an electric mixer and mix until well blended. Drop by rounded teaspoons on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes.
I squeezed the juice of the lemon and found that one large lemon was enough for both the cookie mix and the frosting. A teaspoon of the zest went into the icing mix and the rest I used on top of the cookies for decorations.
These cookies are very easy to make. I found that one batch yielded 40 small cookies.

Amazon Price: $11.09 (as of 06/01/2012)
Cookie Sheet Liner
Silpat liner
Silpat Non-Stick Baking Mat, 11 5/8 x 16 1/2-inches, Half Sheet Size
Amazon Price: $8.99 (as of 06/01/2012)
Ingredients for Icing
1 cup Powdered Sugar
2-3 teaspoons Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
Extra Lemon Zest for Decorating
Icing your Cookies
just a dab on the top
To make the icing for the cookies mix all your ingredients together with a spoon until consistency is right for dropping on the cookies. I found that just dropping a bit of the icing in the center of the cookie with your spoon works best. If icing is too thick you can add a few drops of water.
Here is a recipe card for the lemon cookies. The recipe is on the back of the postcard.
