If you like lemon drops, chances are good you will like these cookies. Lemon drops rank high on our family’s favorite candies, and so when we were introduced to these cookies, the recipe also became part of our family cook book. Lemon Drop Cookies
I also have to mention a favorite book, The Lemon Drop Jar, that we loved and gave away as a gift, so we haven’t had it for some time. It’s out of print, but you might be able to find it at your library. It’s a beautiful story about how one girl’s great aunt brings a little sunshine into her gray winter days by bringing out a jar filled with lemon drops. She not only shares memories and a treat with her great niece, she nurtures her with comfort and love, the way a loving aunt can do.
