I have always been fond of Citrusy flavors and while baking cookies for my grandkids I made these Lemon Cookies . These cookies are my Day 2 post under the theme Cookies for your Sweet Tooth.

I have noticed that the kids always want something with chocolate , but I wanted a slight diversion and baked these . Surprisingly the kids loved them , more then the kids it is we grown ups that enjoyed them . The cookies have a wonderful aroma and the zesty lemon flavour is very very pleasant . If you want to turn them vegan just substitute the butter to almond butter . Enjoy these Lemon Cookies today , tomorrow I shall bring you one more Cookie recipe that the kids will love .

These lemon cookies look so inviting Vaishali, please do send them for my kids party!

Love the tangy flavor in these cookies. Also they have such a beautiful color. Would love to make it soon.

Always love citrus flavor in cookies, and love the colour of these cookies, feel like munching some, and that dusted sugar gives an attractive look.

I guess unless we learn to divert a bit with our baking, our kids will never appreciate new flavors. I have two who don’t like to move out and it gets very challenging, but I feel with age, they should be getting better… hehe… these lemon cookies would be lovely with some black tea… easy to make too.
