Let the record show that I, Christina Dessertfortwo (legal name-change pending), am a huge fan of cookies that are baked and then rolled in sugar. Cookies: full of sugar, check. Cookies rolled in sugar? Double check. Make that double chin.
These cookies are soft and tender, and yeah, they melt in your mouth.
I whipped these up one Saturday afternoon, and then happily found myself packaging them up as a hostess gift. Hooray for new friends!
Have you noticed when people say 'these cookies would be great for tea time?' I don't know about your schedules, but I haven't had time for tea since I was 5. And even then, it was tea made of air that my parents pretended to pour. So, I will tell you that these cookies take 10 minutes to whip up, 1 hour to chill, and then 15 minutes or so to bake. Fit that into your schedule and you'll be very happy.
Rolling warm cookies in sugar brings much happiness:
We're heading to Texas this weekend to scope out wedding venues. Have a great week!
These lemon cookies are super delicious!

These cookies look amazing! Yum! And how exciting to be looking for wedding venues! :) That was one of the best parts of planning ours. We got married at a winery (highly suggest btw) so what else are you to do except taste the wine??? ;) Good luck looking for one!
Julia {The Roasted Root} says
Like you, I'm a big fan of shortbread-style cookies. I've never heard of meltaways, which is ridiculous because I'm a big cookie lover. Looks awesome!
Michelle says
I love anything with lemon! Good luck wedding venue hunting!
