Do you love cookies but want to eat healthier? We have a solution for you. These healthy lemon cookies..... or healthier anyway, are soft, chewy and bursting with lemony flavor. They are frosted with a lemon cream cheese frosting to take them to the next level of deliciousness.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit with the rack on the top middle position.
In a large mixing bowl beat the butter until smooth, add the sugars and beat until well combined. Add the egg and beat until fluffy and creamy colored. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extract, beat until combined (the mixture might separate but this is fine).
Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the cookies are set in the middle and slightly golden brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool on the tray for 1-2 minutes before transferring the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
