Lemon Cookies

On Sundays I like to make cookies to have on hand for the week.  They are so much better than store bought cookies.  Plus I know exactly which ingredients are used!  Yesterday we made lemon cookies.  Here is the recipe -

Lemon Cookies
1 cup butter softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

1.  Soften the butter and then cream together with sugar using a mixer.
2.  Add eggs and continue mixing.
3.  Add lemon juice and vanilla and continue mixing.
4.  Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt.
5.  Add flour mixture in small amounts to butter mixture and continue mixing.
6.  Drop by rounded teaspoons onto baking sheet lined with no stick foil or spray lightly with cooking spray.
7.  Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 9 minutes. 
8.  Remove cookies from pan and place on wire rack to cool.  This made about 90 cookies.
