Notes
- Make sure your butter is softened (not melted). Room temperature butter creams better with sugar, which helps give you that soft, fluffy cookie texture.
- Fresh lemon juice and zest make a big difference in flavor.
- Once you add the flour, mix just until combined. Overmixing can make the cookies a little tough. Nutrition information is an estimate and may vary based on ingredients and portion sizes.
