THANK YOU!!!!!!! I can't wait to try them!!!!!!!
I just popped over from Carin's site and can't wait to try this recipe! I am a fan of all things lemon!
Carin's going to get us all hooked! I've been addicted to lemon flavored everything since I became pregnant with my first child -- over sixteen years ago! You know I'm going to Costco tomorrow to get my very own bag of lemons just so I can try this recipe out! Thanks for sharing...Sue Q
These truly are the BEST cookies I've ever had.
