MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH LEMON DROP COOKIES
The addition of cornstarch to these cookies really makes them melt in your mouth! The fact that they are egg-free makes them good for those allergic to eggs, and since the cookies are little, it is easy to eat a bunch - unfortunately... :) These are a nice addition to a summer BBQ, a baby shower, or any get-together. These can be made with any citrus fruit, but we like lemon the best!

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh lemons. This will give your cookies a brighter flavor and aroma.
- Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies to be tender and chewy.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the cookies to keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.

These lemon cutouts are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your friends and family. With their bright lemon flavor and chewy texture, these cookies are sure to be a favorite. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these lemon cutouts a try. You won't be disappointed.
