Citrus Desserts Cookies Lemon recipes Recipes

Lemon Snowball Cookies

 
Lemon Snowball Cookies
I think this might be the perfect recipe. Lemon Snowball Cookies.
5 ingredients.
Super quick to mix up…and each cookie is bursting with buttery, lemony goodness.
 
Lemon recipes
 For 2013 I am going to try to organize my foodie posts a bit…operative word here is “try.” I’ll pick a flavor and concentrate on that for each month…so we’re starting with the freshest flavor ever. Lemon.
 
Lemon Snowball Cookies
I found this recipe on the blog for Avenue Hotel Bed and Breakfast. I revised it just a bit.
 
Lemon Snowball Cookies
 
The original recipe said to roll the cookies in powdered sugar after baking. That’s just too much mess for me. So I came up with the flour sifter trick. Worked like a charm.

I also added the fresh lemon juice. When I mixed up my dough it was a little dry. The lemon juice really brightened the taste and took care of the dry dough.

Next up is Starbucks Lemon Loaf. I can hardly wait!

    I love the fresh citrus taste of lemon, especially in baked goods! These cookies look wonderful… I could probably eat a dozen right after they came out of the oven. :-)

    I really like these lemon cookies although I always end up with more icing sugar on my “shelf” than I prefer. Doesn’t stop me from eating them though! Love the photos!

    How did you get such a great photo of this powdery cookie on the cooling rack … with no powdered sugar on the beautiful blue napkin? :)

    I love lemons.

    I love lemons – just made lemon chicken tonight – this would have been the perfect dessert!

    Pinning these because I love cookie recipes where I don’t have to roll out the dough – I’m lazy that way!

    Can’t wait to see the lemon loaf!

    These look yummy, yummy!!! And, for some reason, lemon sounds so light and tasty after all the rich foods of the holidays. Definitely gonna try this – and love the idea of sifting powdered sugar on top instead of rolling!
