wonderful

I made these for a cookie swap as well. It's amazing how easy they are to make and how fluffy they stayed. What I liked too is you can really change the icing up if you wanted to as well, or just keep it off if someone doesn't like sweet cookies. The cookies are very good just alone.

A new family favorite!!!

I used bottled lemon juice and found the lemon flavor to be a perfect balance. These cookies came out amazing. They were moist and sweet and I could not keep them on the table. I have to make another batch because my daughter never even got a chance to taste them they disappeared so fast. The fact that they are sooo easy to make is also a BIG plus!
