LEMON DROP COOKIES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter and 1 cup powdered sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed. Stir in flour, cornstarch, lemon zest, and vanilla and mix well.

MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH LEMON DROP COOKIES
The addition of cornstarch to these cookies really makes them melt in your mouth! The fact that they are egg-free makes them good for those allergic to eggs, and since the cookies are little, it is easy to eat a bunch - unfortunately... :) These are a nice addition to a summer BBQ, a baby shower, or any get-together. These can be made with any citrus fruit, but we like lemon the best!
