LEMON DROP COOKIES

Sour cream gives this lemon-flavored cookie its soft texture.

Cookie Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup Sour Cream

1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Glaze Ingredients:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Heat oven to 350°F.
Combine sugar and butter in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy.
Add sour cream, eggs, lemon peel and lemon extract; continue beating until well mixed.
Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking powder and salt. Beat, scraping bowl often, until well mixed.

These so good as a summer day cookie and for yummy treats to put in a gift bag too! Thanks. My mom loves lemon anything and I wanted a softer new lemon something for her and this fits the bill!
