Recipe: Yummy nice and soft lemon cookies

nice and soft lemon cookies. Partially because most lemon cookie recipes look lackluster in the lemon flavoring department, look too cakey for my liking, or look too flat and wimpy. To keep the cookies soft and dense, there's a tablespoon of honey in the dough. Honey is hydroscopic (attracts water) so it helps the cookies stay.

Unlike other lemon sugar cookies, which have just the barest hint of lemon flavor, these cookies pack quite a lemony punch, but without tasting too sour or too artificial. These Lemon Cookies are incredibly soft and bursting with lemon flavor! I had originally started working on some lemon cookies a few months ago, but I tend to get sidetracked with recipes. You can cook nice and soft lemon cookies using 9 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you cook it.
