You could try swapping both the cream of tartar and baking soda for baking powder. I haven’t tried it but it should work. They might look a little different but they should taste great. Let me know how it goes.

These cookies are really good! They’re like shortbread but lemon. I used a 1 inch scoop and it made 42 cookies. Good stuff!
