Crisp Lemon Sugar Cookies image

I have had this recipe for about 40 years, and in that time I've made a few changes. These cookies are my husband's favorite, so I bake them for him almost every week. One of my daughter's friends still remembers having these special treats when she stopped in on her way home from school. -Dollie Ainley, Doniphan, Missouri

I had some trouble getting the cookies to crisp up, but they were still tasty.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for me, but they were still pretty good.

I'm not a huge fan of sugar cookies, but these were really good! The crispy edges were my favorite part.
