Preheat your oven to 325°, and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl using a wire whisk add sugar, and softened butter (not melted). Mix together until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, sour cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice and mix until blended.
In a separate bowl using a wire whisk add in flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix together.
Slowly add your dry mix into your wet mix and mix together until well combined.
Using a 1-1/2 inch cookie scoop, place the cookie batter onto a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 mins.
Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and place them on a paper towel or a cooling rack to cool.
Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting.
Using an electric mixer and the wire whisk attachment, mix together softened cream cheese, and butter until smooth.
Add in lemon juice.
Slowly add in powdered sugar and mix until smooth and blended.
Lightly spread the frosting over the cooled cookies, or using a piping bag, pipe the frosting onto the cookies.
Yellow food coloring can be added for a brighter color.
Notes
