Up until apx. 6 months ago Panera carried a lemon drop cookie - delicious.  I think it was some type of sugar cookie with no icing.  It was about as tall as a Cheryl's cookie but quite a bit larger around.  Does anyone have a recipe for this cookie? TIA

@sabra- If you google "Panera lemon drop cookie recipe", you'll come up with a lot of information on this and several recipes.

 They probably used some of the  lemon baking additives from King Arthur baking company . They sell several products  dry lemon powder  among other items that really boost the lemon flavor .

I wanted to let everyone know what I did.  I googled "Panera Lemon Drop Cookie" and it looked the same so I printed it off.  The recipe calls for the zest of 1 lemon but apx. 5 years ago I broke one of my wrists and it hasn't been the same and makes it difficult when doing anything.  Found out you can buy dried lemon peel (McCormick).  Then I had to go on the internet to see how much to use.  Some said 1 tsp, some said 1 1/2 tsp. I used 1 1/2 tsp. They came out great and were a huge hit on Christmas.  I will be making them again.  Thanks to everyone here for the ideas.

Just google Panera Lemon Drop Cookies and then print the recipe.  That's how I did it.

@sabra Thanks for the recipe...but I noticed on the u-tube video the last step she rolled the cookies in  I think what looked like powdered sugar and I never saw her add the white chips.....must be two different recipes.
