As I am sure you are all in the same boat as me....busy with Christmas/holiday preparations, I haven't been able to post much on the blog because it is all secret.
There's been sewing and knitting going on for Christmas presents; shopping for gifts; putting up the decorations, sending out cards, etc. I rarely do cookies anymore because we just don't NEED them.....but......
We received some beautiful lemons from my son's in-laws, Cheryl and Bill, as they have a lemon tree in their backyard in Florida. These things are huge, thin skinned and just packed with fresh lemon juice. These cookies are one of the recipes that I thought I would try out with some fresh lemon zest and lemon juice.
I am going to find it very hard not to eat the whole batch at one sitting. They are great!
You can find the recipe for the lemon icebox cookies here. They were super easy to make. I have had the dough in the refrig for a few days and thought I would throw a batch in tonight since I just had a taste for something sweet.
I may just squeeze my remaining lemons and freeze the juice in the freezer and zest up the rind and freeze that so that I can make these again at a later date.
Anyways, I just wanted to share this wonderful recipe with you. If you love lemon flavored foods, I think you will really like these.
Ok.....back to wrapping gifts.
I can taste those all ready! Thank you for sharing the recipe...my lemons are store bought but am going to try these this weekend...your kitchen must have smelled heavenly when using those very fresh lemons - is it okay to have lemon envy??
