Old-Fashioned Lemon Sugar Cookies

Our lemon sugar cookies are simple to make. They get their citrus flavor from lemon zest and juice and their crackly, shiny top from two layers of sanding sugar.

Lovely cookies, not very lemony though, even when I used lemon juice instead of water to brush the tops. I'll definitely double up on the juice/zest if I make them again. And they cooked to perfection in only 12-13 minutes in my oven, 15 minutes would have been overdone in my opinion.
