Step 1

Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups. Let cookie dough stand at room temperature 10 minutes.

In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Add lemon juice, lemon peel and eggs.

Beat mixture with electric mixer on medium speed just until blended.

Spoon into baking cups.
