The kid asked if we could make cookies.
“Sure,” I said, “What kind?”
“I want lemon cookies.”
“Ok. We can make lemon bars.”
“NOOOO. Lemon COOKIES!”
“Well, lemon bars are like cookies. They’re just squares, not circles.”
“CIRCLES!!!”
“Crikey. Fine. Cookies.”

And so, that is the story behind these semi-homemade lemon cookies. A harder outside, soft chewy inside. We used the Easy Lemon Cookies recipe from Allrecipes.com, the one substitution was replacing lemon extract with 3-4 tbsp lemon juice (2 baby lemons) and the zest of one baby lemon.

Lemony.
