Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven 350 degrees
In large bowl with electric mixer, beat butter until smooth. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs, sour cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice and beat until combined. Add baking soda, baking powder, and flour and beat just until combined. Dough will be the consistency of thick cake batter - it is quite sticky and soft. Drop dough by heaping tablespoon onto prepared baking sheet (I get six on a regular baking sheet - my cookies are large) try to make drops as round as possible. Bake for 10 minutes or until no longer glistening in the center. Cool completely When cookies are completely cool, spread with frosting.
