These lemon flavoured cookies are to die for. Quick, easy and sooo delicious! And did I forget to say they're gluten-free and dairy-free?
My mother used to be well known for her exquisite baking. In her time there were very few caterers, so family and friends would ask her to bake for them for various occasions, particularly for weddings. She would always do it gladly and for free of course. I am talking about making hundreds of pieces, which would take hours to make, something I will never be able to do!
I combined 2 of her recipes to create this simple and quick one. It took me literally 1/2 hour to come up with 24 pieces.
They are just perfect for that late night cookie craving!
Makes 22-24 cookies.
