Remember that Small-batch Strawberry Frosting I posted a couple of weeks ago? Well, when I was shooting it, I needed a cookie to smother it over for the post photos, so I threw together some lemon sugar cookies to be my frosting models. Long story short, I ended up liking those cookies so much that I couldn’t not give them their own post. So here we go: Lemon Sugar Cookies With Strawberry Frosting.
A Small-Batch of Lemon Sugar Cookies
These cute little cookies are my super simple Small-batch Frosted Sugar Cookies with a bit of lemon zest baked in, which gives them a bright (but not overwhelming), citrusy flavor. They’re soft and a little bit cakey, with a texture that almost melts in your mouth. When paired with the tangy strawberry buttercream layered on top, they’re divine. The recipe will make six good-sized cookies. If that’s too few, you can double the recipe. If it’s too many, these cookies freeze well. Just freeze them on a plate for 20 minutes or until the frosting is frozen solid and transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag.

Recipe Notes
This recipe makes exactly enough frosting to frost the cookies as shown. Don’t make your roses too large or you won’t have enough frosting for all the cookies. Like lemon but not strawberries? Use my small-batch Vanilla Frosting or Cream Cheese Frosting, and add a little extra lemon zest in with it.
