We calculate the electromagnetic and the axial form factors of the nucleon within the framework of light cone sum rules (LCSR) to leading order in QCD and including higher-twist corrections. In particular we motivate a certain choice for the interpolating nucleon field. We find that a simple model of the nucleon distribution amplitudes which deviate from their asymptotic shape, but much less compared to the QCD sum rule estimates, allows one to describe the data remarkably well.
