Refreshing Lemon Cookie Recipe
I want to share this easy lemon cookies recipe. It is a great treat for any time of the year, but especially perfect for Springtime and Easter. They are light, fluffy and have a slight lemon zest to them. That small burst of lemon is just as refreshing as the first warm day of spring. These cookies are great to make with your kids, they are easy and you can snack on the chocolate chips while you are baking!
Growing up, I really shied away from any “lemon” flavored desserts. But as I got older, I definitely changed my mind. I discovered that, sometimes, the subtle zest of lemon in a dessert is the perfect ingredient to really make it stand out. Using lemon cake mix is a perfect way to explore lemon flavored desserts. I have started exploring the internet to find more recipes using Lemon Cake Mix. There are a ton of options out there! This easy lemon cookies recipe is my addition to that list!
