Receta Lemon Wedding Cookies
It is love at first bite with these melt-in-your-mouth Lemon Wedding Cookies. Once you try these, you will want to make them again and again!
These soft and buttery Lemon Wedding Cookies were not on the lineup for today however if you join me on Facebook I was talking about the Pistachio Wedding Cookies a few days ago which these are very similar to. By request I decided to post the recipe to the Lemon Wedding Cookies because these are to good not to share.
These were actually intended to be in the Summer Thyme cookbook. I pulled them last minute as I swapped it for another recipe I wanted to include in the cookbook instead. This recipe has been sitting in the vault for almost a year but I am so happy to publish it for you all to enjoy!
Unlike most of my posts lately that include step by step photos that I hope you are enjoying, these do not as these photos were taken awhile ago for the cookbook. No worries, these are so easy to make that those photos aren’t really necessary.
