These delicious cookies have a kick of lemon flavor, and they're made from scratch rather than a box mix like the majority of recipes out there. This recipe was created because I absolutely love lemon-flavored desserts, but have an allergy to artificial colorants and dyes used in food. If you like lemon, you're going to love these cookies. They're soft, chewy, and packed with bold lemon flavor.

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. Editor's Tip: Instead of greasing your baking sheets, try lining 'em with parchment paper for perfect cookies every time. Let them rest for a few minutes before moving them to wire racks to cool completely. To make these lemon sugar cookies, you'll start out by whisking together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set the mixture aside and then mix up the wet ingredients.
