Day 76: Lemon Drop Cookies

There is something about a lemon cookie that makes me think of summer. Maybe it was eating them by the box full while at dance camp while I was in high school? Sweet and tangy, lemon cookies are always a favorite.

It has been a few weeks since I linked up with Deb at Focused on the Magic of Disney. This weeks theme, "C". In my world "C" stands for COOKIE!

While taking pictures of the Lemon Drop Cookies, Mickey made a special appearance.

This is a simple recipe, sure to please. I found it helpful to dip the cookies in lemon juice before covering with powdered sugar. Start with 1/2 tsp and add more as needed.
