Notes

  • Lemon is my little trick to these cookies. You don’t even really notice it, but it does something magical for your tastebuds. Don’t worry though, adding in the lemon does not make them taste like lemon cookies. It just adds a bit more to the flavor profile. 
  • This dough does not need to chill before rolling.
