Lemon Butter Cookies and Three Owls



The base for these cookies is the recipe for Key Lime Frosties in Nancy Baggett's All-American Cookie Book. An uncredited version of the recipe is available online here. For this batch I used lemon instead of lime. Also I added a few drops of yellow food coloring to the glaze, and omitted the zest.


The cookies have a pillow texture, very tender and melting. The lemon flavor actually develops over a few days. And they are quite delicious right out of the freezer.

Ultimate Lemon Bars

These bars are extra work and extra delicious. Probably not worth the effort when a quick lemon fix is needed. But outstanding when time allows for something a bit more refined. The recipe is definitely a keeper

Pegasus Thursday (735)

Since I am chronically under-employed and running out of funds, I did what any sensible person would do:  I bought a sewing machine and started quilting!
