Three lemons, sitting on my counter top just begging me to make some of those yummy lemon bars we all love! But, I figured if I was going to bake something with them, I should probably try something new and make a post. So, I looked through my almost million Pinterest saves and came up with these little morsels of tangy lemoney goodness. They are soft and delicious and maybe they satisfied my lemon craving! But then, again, I might still need some lemon bars! Lemon zest always add such deep lemon flavor! The dough is sticky but the consistency of think cake batter! Drop by the spoonful onto the cookie sheet. Bake until the center no longer glistens. Do not overbake! The frosting is full of lemon flavor. The recipe calls for the juice of two lemons but I only did the juice of one lemon and then added about a tsp of milk to make it more of the consistency I liked. Of course I added yellow sugar sprinkles because sprinkles make everything taste better, right? I couldn't wait to give them a try. I really love this recipe. It was quick and easy and you can make them any size you want just by the amount of dough you drop onto the cookie sheet. Give them a try if you might be craving lemon!
