Lemon Drop Cookies
Whether it be lemon donuts, lemon bars, lemon cake, Grandma Barker loved lemon anything as much as I did.
I always loved trying new recipes,and this one I tried, Christmas 1984, in what turned out to be her last Christmas. I will never forget her tasting them, and saying, “ I never thought I could have a new favorite cookie after all these years!”
