Lemon Sparkle Cookies
These cookies will brighten anyone's day. Use fresh lemon zest and juice and even a few drops of essential oil so that they burst with citrus flavour. This recipe comes from Bob's Red Mill.
Equipment
- I love using my cookie scoop to portion out the dough.
- Stand-Up mixer or hand beaters
