Lemon butter cookies from The Dessert Bible by Christopher Kimball

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    So lemony! I couldn't find lemon oil but you can substitute extract in a 4:1 extract to oil ratio, and they'll still turn out great.

    I received more compliments on these cookies than any others I made this past holiday season. The lemon oil really amped up the lemon flavor and people really liked it. The cookie itself is light, crispy and easy to make.
