Everyone seems to love lemon.  So, I decided to make lemon cookies with lemon frosting.   (I have several other flavors of this recipe – chocolate, regular sugar cookie, gingerbread, oatmeal chocolate chip).   These are fun because after scooping out dough and rolling each one into a ball, I gently smash it with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.  Then I bake and frost them after they are cooled.   These should not bake longer than 12 minutes.  They seem underbaked, but they should be that way.  Pop them in the fridge to cool.  And after frosting then, chill them again.

Scoop out your flour into the measuring cups so you get the right amount.  chill the individual doughs for several hours before baking.  And preheat your oven before baking.

Also, I had something very cool happen today..  while running errands, i was wearing my Bills hat that Rob designed for me and someone yelled “go Bills!”  That was pretty awesome!
