Today, I was going to pay tribute to the “Hat Trick,” but since it is Lent, I decided to go theological.  As a result, I am proud to present “Lemon Glazed Cookies,” the third cookie in the “Triune Lemon Cookie.” 

Coupled with my last two posts (Ricotta Lemon Cookies and Lemon Cake Mix Cookies), the Lemon Glaze Cookies complete the “Triune Lemon Cookie.”  Each part their own unique cookie, but at the same time all lemon.

LEMON GLAZED COOKIES

“The cookie portion of this treat leave the ‘lemon talking’ to the delicious glaze.  Coupled they create a pleasant balance of standard cookie and powerful lemon pop.”
