Sour cream cookies with a lemon twist. These are a big hit in my family and I hope they will be as well in yours. These cookies are similar to miniature cakes. Delish!

Light and airy. My family loved them. I added an egg for a cake like texture. I did not use lemon extract, instead I substituted orange zest. I frosted them with a drizzle of powdered sugar with the juice of the orange. Read More
