Besides luvin’ that it’s lemon, I do like that it can be quick to make and probably easier to whip up with the kiddies! Nice presentation with the lemon drops. :)

I’m so glad you’re still posting cookie recipes, Barbara! I adore those lemon candies. What a super idea to incorporate them into cookies and then use fresh lemon juice as well. Can this recipe be any easier?? I love it!

I’m mixing up a batch right now. I do have a question for you… the package calls for the addition of an egg and either I’m doing something wrong or it needs more liquid. Help please! :)
Thanks so much for catching that error. I have updated the recipe to include the egg. Thanks!!!
