Easy and Delicious Cookie Recipe


                                                              Lemon Stamper Cookies

These lemon cookies are a BIG hit with our family and friends. They are so easy, with minimal ingredients, and my husband can seriously finish off the entire batch.  Now, what’s not to love about a recipe like that?? I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Ingredients

1 cup butter or margarine, softened

3 ounces cream cheese, softened

½ cup sugar  (plus a little more for dipping)

1 tablespoon grated lemon peel

2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions: In large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon.  Stir in sugar and lemon peel.  Gradually stir in flour.  Cover; refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm.

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Shape dough into 1-inch balls, and dip into additional sugar.  On ungreased cookie sheet, place balls about 2 inches apart.  “Stamp” balls to about ¾ inch thickness using a potato masher, the bottom of a glass, the bumpy side of a meat mallet, etc.

Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until set but not brown.  Remove from cookie sheet  to cooling rack.  Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
