3. Pour melted butter/sugar mixture over the dry ingredients, add 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice to the dry ingridients and mix until the dough binds into a loose ball.
4. Place spoonfuls of slightly flattened cooked dough onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. (I got 12 cookies out of the dough
