Lemon sugar cookies are what most consider to be "old fashioned". They are made with butter and create a fluffy mound of soft cookie instead with a crunchy sugar outside. This easy sugar cookie recipe is a lemon lover's dream. The cookies have so much lemon flavor (the recipe uses lemon extract AND fresh lemon zest). I especially love that you can see the little flecks of lemon zest in the cookies.
