I’ve been gravitating towards fresher flavours the past few months. And lemon seems to be the main ingredient I keep coming back to – it’s quickly become a staple flavour in my kitchen. There’s something about the bright fresh flavour and the lightness it adds to recipes, even decedent cookies. It should be no surprise I decided to bake my new obsession into my forever obsession – – lemon cookies!
