Lemon Tart Sugar Cookies
So this totally happened today. I had checked out the book Heartless by Marissa Meyer from the library and began reading it yesterday. I fell in love with this book quickly and I'm not sure why. I guess I am a fan of any book that has delicious lemon tarts and Alice in Wonderland retelling. I'm only a couple of characters into the book but I have enjoyed it so much that I had to purchase the book today while at Target. Then some lemon tart cookies sounded so good I came home and decided to bake. I can't review the book yet but I will once I'm done reading. I have included the recipe for you to enjoy these delicious Lemon Sugar Cookies that I found on Pinterest. Here is the blog where the recipe came from http://deliciouslysprinkled.com/lemon-sugar-cookies/. I have included the recipe below. Let me know if you have read Heartless or if you make these delicious cookies.
