The Best Lemon Sugar Tea Cookies!. These cookies are one of THE BEST that has ever come out of my oven! I couldn't believe how fast they were mixed up. We rolled these in a mixture of yellow colored sugar and regular.
Some people say tea cakes remind them of sugar cookies but I think they remind me more of sweet cornbread or pound cake in cookie-biscuit form. The lemon zest just bumps up all those flavors so it's a must as well. Sometimes I'll add in a drop of almond extract or a bit of rum extract.

I do adore Lemon Sugar Cookies-they are soft, chewy, and rolled in sugar. These cookies are simple, elegant, and perfect for spring. The recipe includes lemon zest and fresh lemon juice so the cookies have a delightful lemon flavor. The cookies are soft and chewy in the middle with slightly crisp edges. These Lemon Sugar Cookies are buttery and soft, with the perfect hint of lemon.
