I've been wanting to post these cookies for awhile but I haven't had the time to write about them. This is honestly a great sugar cookie recipe. These Summer Lemon Sugar Cookies are soft, yet firm, super buttery and keep their shape while baking- which in the sugar cookie decorating world, a major plus! I made these cookies to challenge myself. To see if I can actually decorate my desserts as well as I can bake them up. I've always found royal icing territory a bit scary and intimidating, not to mention the use of raw egg whites freaks me out a bit. I mean I'm not an artist by any stretch of the word, so drawing on a cookie palette didn't sound appealing. But here I am diving into something new, different and luckily the results were seriously delicious!
