Easy lemon cookie recipe

lemon cookies

This recipe can be used in a cookie press or it can be spooned onto a cookie sheet and pressed down with a glass or your hand.
If you use the bottom of a glass to press cookies down, dip glass into sugar to prevent cookie dough from sticking to the bottom of the glass.
