Instructions:

1. Prepare a 1/4 sheet pan or a small jelly roll pan (approximately 9” x 12”) by lining with parchment paper.
2. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine room temperature butter, sugar and lemon zest. Mix until light and fluffy. Scrape.  (Older Kids & teens can help!)
3. Add eggs, one at a time. Then add creamer and mix until combined. (Kids can help!)
4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and cream of tartar. Whisk to combine. Add dry ingredients to butter, mixing until just combined.  (Kids can help!)
5. Place cookie dough onto prepared sheet pan. Lay another sheet of parchment over the top of the dough and, using hands, evenly spread the dough so it fills the pan completely. (Kids can help!)
6. Chill dough for 30 minutes while you preheat oven to 350°F.
7. Bake cookie base for 18-20 minutes, until cookie is very lightly browned. Be careful not to over bake. Remove from oven and cool completely.
