Lemon Lemon Sugar Cookies (Cookies so Lemony I named 'em Twice) - 52 Cookie Recipes (2)OH BOY... A new favorite cookie.

I am constantly on the look out for an Adult Cookie. Certainly something that satisfies the sweet tooth in us all, but also mixes flavors (in this case sweet and sour) and has a real PUNCH of flavor. You will need to break out your microplane zester for this as the recipe features the ZEST of SEVEN lemons. That's where the real lemon flavor is.

No need for frosting, sprinkles or funny shapes... Just big girl grown up flavors that pack that PUNCH!

Be sure to check out yesterday's post on how to make the Lemon Sugar that really makes these beauties sing!

Lemon Lemon Sugar Cookies (Cookies so Lemony I named 'em Twice) - 52 Cookie Recipes (8)
Ages ago, literally almost a half century ago I was listening to our pastor talking about a PotLuck Dinner. It happened to be scheduled around a church work day when we were expected to weed, polish and do general cleaning and maintenance around the church (you know, back in the day when there were no no-wax floors and church pews smelled of Old English furniture polish). I am of course paraphrasing, but as I recall the pastor said,

"A potluck, like a church requires work. At a potluck everyone is expected to contribute.. At a church no one should come empty handed and no one should leave unfed".

I will confess that in my youth I brought more store bought plastic spoons and forks than I ever brought covered dishes and crock pots of fresh made love and caring delights. But now that I have become a hobbyist cook, I occasionally am reminded of those days and people from my youth. I reminded and I do wish that I could drop a dish of some new creation on those old tables at my fondly remembered Liberty Baptist Church. Tables covered with newspapers and loaded with God's bounty prepared with love and caring... Enjoy
