1/2 c sugar
2 tsp lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp grated lemon peel
1 - 8 oz cool whip topping, thawed

Tips:

  • If you want a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set, about 10-12 minutes. If you over bake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
