These delicate Lemon Lime Cookies are incredibly tender and have a wonderful burst of citrus flavor. They are delicious with a cup of coffee or tea.
I wanted to make a simple cookie today using my lemons. They were not happy sitting in the bowl all by their self.
Then the limes were crying from their lonely produce bowl, so I re-united both the lemons and the limes and made these Lemon Lime {Cookie} Slices. I am a fruit uniter like that.
Then the green and yellow sprinkles wanted to come out and play, so I rolled the cookies in the sprinkles. Don’t they make the cookies look pretty.
And then guess what happened? I ate one!
You don’t believe that I only at one??
They are perfect with some afternoon coffee or tea. You must try them!!
