From Houston, Texas, Charlotte Westfall says, "The light lemony flavor of these treats is wonderful and very impressive. They are quite showy on a cookie tray."

Lemon Angel Wings Recipe

Prep: 20 min. + chilling Bake: 20 min./batch + cooling

Yield: 36 Servings

20 20 40

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cold butter, cubed
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
10 tablespoons sugar, divided

Directions

Place flour in a large bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in sour cream and lemon peel until well blended. Place on a piece of waxed paper; shape into a 4-1/2-in. square. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Cut dough into four 2-1/4-in. squares. Place one square on a piece of waxed paper sprinkled with 2 tablespoons sugar. Cover with another piece of waxed paper. Keep remaining squares refrigerated. Roll out dough into a 12-in. x 5-in. rectangle, turning often to coat both sides with sugar.
Lightly mark center of 12-in. side. Starting with a short side, roll up jelly-roll style to the center mark, peeling paper away while rolling. Repeat rolling from other short side, so the two rolls meet in the center and resemble a scroll.
Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Repeat with remaining squares, using 2 tablespoons sugar for each. Chill for 1 hour.
Unwrap dough and cut into 1/2-in. slices; dip each side in remaining sugar. Place 2 in. apart on foil-lined baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 14 minutes or until golden brown. Turn cookies over; bake 5 minutes longer. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 3 dozen.

These were delicious! We couldn't stop eating them. They were quite time consuming and tricky to make. Mine didn't really look like the ones in the picture. I had trouble keeping them from breaking or getting too brown. But even the brown ones went fast!

forgot to add that I had no problems with the cookies sticking to the foil

These cookies are delicious and have a wonderful crispy texture. I found that I did not have to bake them as long as the recipe - about 10 min on the first side, then after turning another 3 minutes.

they are delicious, but the cooking them on foil part is tricky. By the time you get them all flipped they stick so badly you can't get them off the foil.
