Set the mixture aside and then mix up the wet ingredients. These delicious cookies have a kick of lemon flavor, and they're made from scratch rather than a box mix like the majority of recipes out there. This recipe was created because I absolutely love lemon-flavored desserts, but have an allergy to artificial colorants and dyes used in food. I made these Lemon Cookies twice. Only made half of the icing and it was plenty for both batches, but I don't like things too sweet.
