These cookies can easily be made the lemon drop kind with just a glaze over the top, or the thumbprint kind with the lemon glaze in the well. Either way you make them, they are positively delicious and you will not want to miss out on the amazingness that these are. They are light and airy and crisp on the outside with a chewy center. There is so much to say about this recipe, but I will just leave you with the recipe for you to see what I mean.
Check out what our friends over at Hoosier Homemade had to say about this:
“These buttery cookies filled with homemade lemon curd are the perfect Spring treat! Serve these Lemon Drop Cookies with your Easter dinner, a Spring baby shower or a delicious treat for a weeknight dessert.”
I so agree! These are the perfect treat to serve at a Spring baby shower or party, yet still just as good to make for yourself at home.
