Tips:

  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cookies come together more easily and will result in a more tender cookie.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the baking sheet. This will help ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Lemon Kiss Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and fluffy, with a sweet and tangy lemon flavor. The powdered sugar coating gives them a delicate sweetness that perfectly complements the lemon flavor.
