Recipe: Lemon Sugar Cookies

So I found this great recipe on Pinterest, & it's from Martha Stewart's website.  As usual I changed the recipe a tiny bit!

Ingredients: 3 cups all purpose flour* 1 tsp. baking soda 1 3/4 cups white sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed 1 tbsp. finely grated lemon zest** 1 cup butter (2 sticks), at room temperature 2 eggs, at room temperature 1 tbsp. lemon juice *Check out how I make my gluten free flour & why I use it here (it's under the ingredients). **I used a lemon zester on a lemon & then finely chopped the zest.
Instructions: -Preheat oven to 350 degrees. -Grease cookie sheets. -Sift flour & baking soda into a bowl, set aside. -Combine sugars & lemon zest in a bowl with an electric mixer, mix on medium speed for about 30 seconds. -Add butter, mix until pale & fluffy, about 1 minute. -Mix in eggs 1 at a time. -Add lemon juice, & reduce speed to slow. -Gradually add flour/baking soda mixture. -Scoop dough onto greased cookie with spoon or cookie scooper. -Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. -Transfer from cookie sheet onto wire cooling rack. -Cool & enjoy! Makes about 60 cookies.

These are so delicious!  I love lemon cookies & this is the best recipe I've tried to make them, & trust me I've tried a lot.  They have just the right amount of lemon flavoring, not too faint a lemon flavor or too overpowering.  Everyone in my family has been enjoying them, & they're kind of addictive.  My cookies were made with gluten free flour as mentioned above so they are a bit flat, but that did not effect the taste at all.  These cookies are crunchy, buttery, lemony, sugar cookie goodness, that I highly recommend making!
