Today I tried to get a jump start on the holiday baking. Baking is always more enjoyable with friends. My friends, Laura and Barbie were also keen to turn the oven on and taste test some new recipes.
The new recipe that I decided to try was something that I found randomly on Pinterest. I was looking for quilt patterns and for some reason this lemon cookie popped up, and it looked delicious. The lemon cookie is from Baked by an Introvert . The recipe reads like a love letter to Meyer Lemons, however it is easy to follow and better yet, it turns out well.
This is certainly a keeper of a recipe. The cookie has a refreshing lemon taste, and when you had the lemon flavored icing, it makes you think of lemonade on a hot summer day. It is the right amount of tang and sweetness all in one, that make you want to have another. If you are a tea drinker, this would be perfect to dip in the tea.
The only thing that I would say about the recipe is that you want to watch the length that you bake the cookie. It calls for 12-14 minute bake time, when the best cookies were done with a 10 minute bake time. I think that it all depends on if your oven runs hot. This is one of those recipes that do not make a huge amount of cookies. This recipe made exactly 36 cookies.
If you are looking for something different for a cookie platter, check out Iced Meyer Lemon Cookies by Baked by an Introvert. It will certainly not disappoint.
