Yesterday was a beautiful Spring day, and I decided to bake them instead of going outside after work! But walking seven miles today around town definitely made up for staying inside baking yesterday.
Anyway, I whipped up the recipe in no time and was a bit hesitant since the dough turned out to be like cake batter. I used a spoon to scoop the messy dough onto cookie sheets and popped them in the oven. The apartment smelled amazing while they were baking!

Soft, cake-like sugar cookies with a hint of vanilla and lemon
(Is your mouth watering yet?)
Filling is optional, but I decided to top one with strawberry jam...yum!
I gave some cookies to my neighbors since the recipe made a lot! I will bring some to my mother when I visit tomorrow as well. Recipes are a wonderful way to share a part of one's family history, and I am very grateful that Irene sent this to me!
Every time I bake these I remember my mom. It never ceases to amaze me how much "smell" brings us back in time!
