Lemon Slice-'n'-Bake Cookies

These cookies were extremely quick and easy to make. These are amazing for those times when you have nothing to do and just feel like having something to treat your sweet tooth. I love that these cookies were super rich and crunchy. Once again, they were approved by my audience (my family), which complimented the cookies' tastiness. Baking is an art, and I love experimenting with new recipes to create something that people cherish.

Lemon Slice-'n'-Bake Cookies

(Makes about 30 cookies cut into 1 cm pieces)

(Per 1 cookie: 46 calories, 2 (g) Fat, 6 (g) Carbs, 0 (g) protein)

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup flour
• 1/8 tsp baking soda
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/2 large lemon (you will need 1/2 tbsp peel, and 1 tbsp juice)
• 3/4 stick margarine, softened
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp sugar for coating
• 1/4 cup confectioners sugar
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Directions: 

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, with an electric mixer, mix together the margarine, sugar, and confectioner's sugar until softly. Then add in the lemon and the vanilla into this mixture. 
3. Lastly, add in the dry ingredients.
4. Once the dough is made, spread a piece of wax paper over a counter. 
5. Roll the dough into a log and cover with the wax paper to keep rolling until the log is even. 
6. I measured the log to an even number (25 cm which is 10 in.). Cover the dough and refrigerate overnight or for 1 and a half hours like I did. The more the dough is refrigerated, the better the cookies will turn out. 
7. When it is time to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
8. Cut out 1 cm slices of the dough log and place the cookies on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tbsp of sugar over the top of each cookie. 
9. Then bake them for approximately
