Lemon Sugar Cookies

Summer is gone. Well, it is still very hot in some countries of Europe, but astronomical summer ended on 22^nd of September. We’re wondering how to say goodbye to holidays and this is the result of our thoughts – Lemon Cookies!

There is nothing better than huge bite of fresh, sweet and light lemon flavor cookie. It recalls all summer fruit, sunbeams and happiness. Glorious sugar sparkle and crinkled texture provide additional charm to cookies.

For us, the most important thing is that, there is no artificial flavors and colors in our Lemon Sugar Cookie recipe. To obtain lemon flavor we used Meyer lemon, which is a cross between lemon and a mandarin orange. Meyer lemon is sweeter than true lemon.
