Lemon Cookies
These Lemon Cookies are light and flavorful. My son really enjoyed them. If you are looking for a cookie that is refreshing, this is it! It is like a little bit of sunshine in every bite.
If you have someone who loves all things lemon at your house they are going to fall in love with this cookie. I like that it is chewy and light. It really has a nice flavor and isn’t too tart. You can serve it with a cup of tea, and you have the perfect Christmas treat.
When you prepare these don’t let them overcook. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack. You can store into an airtight container and enjoy.
Be sure to make these Lemon Cookies. They are the perfect treat.
