LEMON BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
The secret to perfecting every dessert you make this season? This homemade lemon buttercream frosting. Layer cakes, cookies, cupcakes-you name it, chances are it's going to taste better with a little bit of this citrusy frosting on top. The best part is that it's super easy to make, and you only need four ingredients to get started. Just mix together butter, powdered sugar, lemon juice and grated lemon peel for an ultra-creamy, tart and tangy, best-you-ever-had lemon buttercream frosting.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together butter and sugar. Add egg, vanilla, sour cream, lemon juice and zest.
- Gently whisk together dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
- Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients to butter mixture and mix to combine. Continue process, adding 1/3 of the dry ingredients at a time until it's all mixed in.
- Scoop out 1.5 TBSP of dough and roll into a ball. You can use a medium cookie scoop to make this process faster. Rolling the cookie ball is optional, but I wanted very pretty cookies, so I took the additional 5 seconds and rolled them individually. Place on parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Bake at 375 for 10 minutes. Cool fully before frosting.
BUTTERCREAM-FROSTED LEMON SUGAR COOKIES
Super tender and chewy lemon-infused sugar cookies with an optional sweet lemony buttercream frosting are a beautiful bright treat to enjoy (and maybe even share!) I like to make a half recipe of the frosting, and keep about half of the cookies unfrosted, since not everyone always wants the extra sweetness!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking tray with a silicone baking mat (such as Silpat®) or parchment paper.
- Cream sugar and 1 cup butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer on high until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add in egg yolks, 1 at a time, until well incorporated and fluffy; don't overmix. Blend in all of the zest from the lemon and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice (if you have extra juice, reserve it for the frosting).
- Combine flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar in a bowl and whisk to blend. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl with the butter-sugar mixture and mix in on low speed until just combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom with a spatula until cookie dough is evenly blended.
- Use a 1 1/2-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out 12 dough balls and set, evenly spaced, onto the prepared baking sheet. Don't flatten them, you can leave them just as they come out of the scoop. If you don't have a scoop, just shape walnut-sized balls by hand.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms are very lightly browned and tops begin to appear crackled, 10 to 11 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes and then very carefully move to a cooling rack to complete cooling (they will be very soft still).
- Repeat with remaining dough until all cookies are baked and cooled.
- When cookies are cooled, make the buttercream frosting by whipping 3 cups of confectioners' sugar with 1/2 cup butter; start on low speed until butter and sugar begin to combine, then turn up the speed slowly. When sugar and butter are mostly combined, add in lemon juice and whip until creamy and smooth. Check consistency and flavor; you can add a little extra lemon juice or milk if you want a creamier consistency. But if you want the texture fairly stiff you may not need extra liquid at this point.
- Frost the cooled cookies as desired and allow the buttercream to set before stacking or storing the cookies.

FROSTED LEMON SUGAR COOKIES
I just find the sugar cookie recipes a bit too rich for my taste, so I modified them by adding some lemon.
