A good thing about our new house is that it has two lemon trees in the garden and they're fairly laden right now in midwinter. The kids are on holiday from school this week, so we've been doing a bit of baking. This morning we made lemon cookies with our own lemons.
We used a recipe from New Zealand Gardener magazine (their annual 'Garden Diary') and the finished cookies were rather like lemon-infused shortbread. I found this recipe online which looks pretty similar.
The kids enjoyed cutting out the shapes and icing them. (I made up a little bit of topping by mixing icing sugar with lemon juice and then we sprinkled grated lemon rind on top for 'more yellow' and flavour.)
Don't forget to add Keira's favourite song-of-the-moment for extra happiness: Nina Simone singing Here Comes the Sun.
