Springtime baking

I haven’t posted in a while, as I’ve been going through something that hasn’t left me much in the mood. Today, though, I decided to do some baking to get my mind off of things. A few months ago I’d purchased Dorie Greenspan’s newest book, Dorie’s Cookies, which is crammed full of scrumptious-sounding cookies, both sweet and savory. Since lemon is one of my favorite flavors and seems perfect in the spring, I made her Lemon Sugar Cookies.

The recipe goes together just as well as anyone would expect from a recipe created by Dorie, and the cookies are all I’d hoped they’d be: crisp around the edges, softer in the middle, with a delicate and refreshing lemon flavor. Even better, some of my grandchildren popped over to taste-test them and take more home for the rest of the family, and the cookies passed with flying colors! This is a keeper!
