| Beautiful, fresh lemons! |
People tend to associate citrus with summer – and why not? Don’t we slake our thirst with Lemonade on a warm day? Here in Southern California, we’re lucky enough to enjoy citrus year-round. Not far from here is an innovative company called Limoneira that plants 3,010 acres of lemons. I love lemons and was so excited when I opened a box of 24 of the most perfect lemons I’ve ever seen.

| These roll out easily and bake up perfectly! |
I wanted to create something special for Christmas to highlight their fresh flavor and add some brightness to our cookie plates, so I decided to make these Lemon Shortbread Cookies from Barbara Bakes, cut into snowflakes, iced, and sprinkled with sugar crystals. The result is these refreshing, melt-in-your mouth lemony butter cookies.

| Lemony goodness! |
Known as leaders in the citrus industry, Limoneira constantly strives to improve their business lines. Their most spectacular new product is the PINK LEMON!!! You really must check it out – it’s amazing and just beautiful with pink flesh and green and yellow striped skin. If you’re looking for a wonderful, unique gift, be sure to visit their online gift shop.

Love the idea of a lemon snowflake cookie for Christmas. I need to learn more about pink lemons. So fun. So glad you enjoyed the cookies. I should make more soon.

Have a super day Susan! 🙂
I think those of us who live in the citrus belt, we know that now is the time for oranges, clementines, lemons and limes. It is a magical time and does explain why we get a tangerine or orange in our Christmas stocking… These cookies look absolutely amazing and I am going to click Barbara’s link in hopes that the recipe is there!! Marry Christmas to you and John! ~ David
