"These light cookies are crisp on the outside and soft inside, making it hard to eat just one! I most often bake them for Christmas and Valentine's Day."

Directions
- In a mixing bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon juice, cream and lemon peel. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle. On a lightly floured surface, roll out to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with 2-1/2-in. cookie cutters dipped in flour. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
