Lemon cookies

What a lovely spring day!

And Love is in the air

Today is our  anniversary!  It’s been one heck of a crazy ride – kayaking to the queen’s island, navigating London and Paris, cooking a lot, oh yea, and, of course, saying yes!

I love ya babe and I’m looking forward to all the good things to come.

And if life sends bad things our way, well then, we’ll just take lemons and make lemon cookies!

Because these are seriously amazing.

And!

These are getting into bikini shape friendly cookies. No butter, no milk, no eggs!

Just citrusy lemony goodness.

  • 1 ½ Cups Sugar

  • 2 tbsp Lemon zest
  • ¾ Cup vegetable oil
  • ½ Cup lemon juice (about 3 lemons)

I got 33 cookies from this dough. Which seems appropriate as today is our 3 year anniversary.
