You know what they say: “When life give you lemons..” Turn those lemons into lemonades or better yet, into these yummy cookies. 🙂
I really like the fresh, clean taste of these cookies…like little bites of sunshine 😀
Why don’t you try making it to know what I mean. They’re perfect for tea time.
I wasn’t able to take lots of photos..only these two. But cookies are easy..I’m pretty sure anyone can do this with or without the visual aid. Promise.
Happy Baking!
