lemon russian tea cakes
I love lemon desserts,these are a simple cookie I can make quickly. The recipe is based on the pecan Russian tea cakes.I don't like lemon extract,instead of using it,I add 1 t. fresh lemon juice and 1/4 t.lemon rind.These cookies can also be made with orange,which is delicious too!
