that's a good cookie, dude

i made lemon cookies last weekend! it was my first new-to-me cookie recipe in what im hoping will be A Year Of Cookies. im trying to make more homemade sweets and really cut down on the desserts i buy at work. im picky about how and when i have sugar these days, but for a while i kept the habit of buying candy on my way out of work. kind of silly, really—i have a whole drawer of chocolate im slowly winnowing down

but a homemade cookie. that’s an experience worth having regardless of what else is on offer

they came out quite well. the lemony flavor wasn’t synthetic at all despite using store brand lemon extract, which i felt could go either way. i brought some to work to give my favorite manager, and she liked them so much that after she forgot to bring them home, she came in on her day off to get them! she’s such a sweetheart. she’s working towards a promotion at another store, so im glad i get to give her cookies while she still works here

i want to try something very different next. maybe oatmeal raisin? or a chocolate chunk. many possibilities abound in the world of cookies

here’s the recipe if you’d like to give it a go yourself :-)
