Lemon Drop Cookies

These Lemon Drop Cookies were so irresistible, that I happily ate cookies in lieu of my dinner. (shhhh, don’t tell the kids, they thought I ate my dinner after they went to bed.) I’ve been craving a lemon dessert for a couple of weeks now and I had the recipe for these cookies scribbled out and waiting to try.

I’m happy to say that the cookies were an awesome success and I managed to eat an embarrassing number of them before I finally packed the remaining cookies in a container and sent them home with friends!

Easy Lemon Glaze

If you love lemon desserts, you’ll want to check out the Lemon Ice Cream, Lemon Crinkle Cookies, and this 5-Minute Lemon Curd. (I’m serious, FIVE minutes to perfect lemon curd. Make it now and you can thank me later!) And if you do take my advice and make the lemon curd, you can then make these Lemon Blueberry Parfaits by Baking a Moment. Lighter than a traditional pound cake, this Glazed Lemon Cake is tender with a bright sweet flavor and the lemon glaze adds the perfect touch–the literal icing on top. For a dessert that will leave your guests grinning every time, try the Lemon Angel Pie or the Layered Lemon Cheesecake.
