Baking Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°.
  2. Grease cookie sheets.
  3. Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy; beat in egg, vanilla and lemon.
  4. Stir in sour cream.
  5. Sift together dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture; Stir well.
  6. Chill dough.
  7. Roll to ¼ inch thickness- the thicker the cookie dough the softer the cookie, if thin cookie is crisp.
  8. Cut in shapes you wish.

  10. Frost or decorate as desired.

You may also use 1 can of pineapple (drained) instead of sour cream and lemon juice.

Notes

For a Dairy free option replace:

Butter with a vegan butter product (Miyoko’s is our favorite)

Sour Cream with a vegan cream cheese (Violife is our favorite)

The cookies will have more of a cake like texture but lemony and delicious!
