Christmas Cookies continued...Lemon Cookies?
 

This is the last chance to post your favorite cookie recipes! On the old thread, someone asked for a Lemon Cookie recipe, and no one responded. If you have any other traditional, family, or friend Christmas Cookie recipe you would like to share, please do! If you want to share the story of the recipe, I'd like to hear that too.

Please post your recipes today as I intend to do the grocery list and shop first thing in the morning for my ingredients. I appreciate all the postings to my original request very much, and am sure my friends and family will too!

I have put all the current cookie recipe submissions in a word document. If you would like a copy, please PM me with your email address and I will forward to you.

Thanks again, and Merry Christmas! :p

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
