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!

I'm grateful for the small batch, too, Christina. ;) And these DO look refreshing for "tea time" (as in: with a glass of iced tea!)
Hope you have a productive trip home -- glad you don't have so far to drive! (And be sure to wave when you go through Oklahoma!)
