Lemon Cookies

Hello Dear Friends,

At the weekend, I escaped from the city and spent some time in the garden in the vineyard. I picked lemons, pomegranates, olives and even tangerines from their branches. I feel very energetic when I start the week with the vineyard or garden therapy, which is like a medicine for the tiredness of the weeks :)

My future dream is a small garden with fruit trees in it :) Everyone has a dream, mine is just like that. Except for my cat at home, we can live in the garden when we say a dog, maybe 2-3 chickens :)

When dreams are vineyard or garden life in Istanbul, we can only enjoy such peace for limited times for now, but I have hope!

Anyway, let's come to my Lemon Cookie recipe, I will prepare 3 different recipes from the lemons I collected this week. As you can see, I declared this week as lemon week :) We definitely do not put baking powder in our cookies. The lemon flavor is just right, thanks to the butter in it, it is delicious enough to crack the checkers.

Remember, if your glasses at home are large, reduce the amount of flour and do not touch the cookies while they are cooling because they will still be soft.

Love…
