William  Had to spell that for Schmills who is standing next to me.  He wants people to low who he is.

Lemon Sucre Kasse or citron Sockakakors

1 cup butter room temp

1 cup vegetable oil 

1 cup sugar

1 cup powder sugar

beat this all together with electric mixer

add 2 eggs

1sp vanilla

1tsp lemon flavor

1 tsp lemon zest (optional)

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cream of tartar

You can also add 1 small package of lemon instant pudding but that is also optional

4 cups of flour

This will make a soft dough. Put in fridge for a few hours or over night.

I scoop this out with a melon baller and then smash with a stamp, you can use the bottom of a glass or a fork, then top with yellow sugar, bake 350 for 12-15 minutes.

I was able to get all my army uniforms out yesterday after baking and fixed the one dance costume last night before I crashed.

Now I am going into finish up the Peppekakkor and start on the sugar cookies.  Lil sis is due over sometime this afternoon to help create more chaos.

Ah Christmas you gotta love it right?

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
