Delicious Lemon Sugar Tea Cookies

Delightful lemon flavored cookies. These cookies had a wonderful lemon flavor and the texture was perfect…chewy with a little crisp. They are melt in your mouth good and I will be adding this to my time and time again collectio.. They were a tad too sweet but all in all delicious. I made these to take over to my in laws for Christmas last year (my father in law likes lemon things). My mother in law and her sisters raved on them said that their grandama made cookies just like these and she died before anyone was able to get the recipe for them.
