Super Good Lemon Cookies (Citrus Explosion)

in #food β€’ 15 hours ago

Happy Sunday, You Guys ❀️

I saw a half tub of sour cream that is super close to it's best date, so I turned it into these soft cookies 😊 They are super lemony, just like how I love it. Using my go to cookie recipe, if you like lemon flavor, give this recipe a try. If you have fresh lemon for the grated peel, even better. I used mandarin peel, hence I call the cookies as citrusy instead lemony cookies πŸ˜‰
