Polly Panda is a HUGE fan of these cookies – when bamboo crisps aren’t available, they’re her go-to treat!

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. Have your adult assistant preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in remaining ingredients except flour. Make sure the ingredients are well-blended.
  3. On low speed, beat in flour just until blended.
  4. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle with sugar.
  5. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until edges are lightly browned.

    One of my best friends will literally, suck on lemons! And limes! I don’t understand how she does it without puckering. She never even puts sugar on them! Next time she comes down for a visit I will make her some. I think she’d like these.

    I tried that. Each time I sign up I use a different username and password, because if I try to use that one again, (username) it says that someone is already using that which is me. Or maybe it is the email that is wrong, but then I sent it to my mom’s email and it didn’t work. It’s so confusing!

    Ooooh, I can’t wait to try them. Have tried other lemon item recipes, but nothing rocked my world. I wish this recipe was more user friendly print wise. Copy & paste doesn’t work well from here…
