Frilly Lemon Meltaway Cookies
Frilly Lemon Meltaway Cookies
What could be more lovely than Frilly Lemon Cookies at a
Tea Party? I adore Lemon Meltaway Cookies and have been
making them for Tea Parties for years. I usually follow the
basic directions and form the cookie dough into logs, which
are sliced and baked. Today, I thought I'd try rolling the
dough out and using my flower shaped cookie cutters!
