The norwegian bon bons that I posted earlier on the cookie thread are not lemon, but the frosting has lemon juice in it...if that helps. They are to die for! I just ate a couple a while ago. LOL

A few more recipes...

Cinnamon Cookies

2 c. butter
1 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
4 1/2 c. flour

Cream butter & brown sugar until fluffy. Add flour & mix well. Form small balls and press with fork. Place on ungreased cookie sheet, bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.

Let cool about 1 minute, then roll in mixture of 3/4 c. sugar and 1 1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Russian Tea Cakes

1 c. powdered sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
