Lemon Cookies
Thanks to Two peas and their pod for getting me addicted to these darn lemon cookies! I made these last night at the restaurant I intern called Fedora's in Dallas, TX.Here's the recipe.
It says it makes 3 dozen cookies...Not true for me. I had 24 cookies. I guess I made too big.
This is the sugar with the lemon zest. The smell of it is WONDERFUL!
I used a wooden spoon like BACK in the day when people didn't have hand mixers. The restaurant doesn't have the small tools.
I didn't flatten them so they look like lemon snowball cookies lol. I was going to roll them in powdered sugar but I wanted that extra lemony taste from the glaze!
I will triple this recipe and add some poppy seed (maybe).
