Bakery Style Sugar Cookies with Lemon Icing
I love two things. Sugar cookies and lemons. So why not combine them? The sweetness of the sugar cookie with the fresh tangy flavor of a lemon. It's a perfect duo.

The hint of lemon isn't over powering at all, but if you are worried you can start with 1 tsp. and go from there.

My husband had a boat and would stock our freezer in the summertime with dozens of halibut fillets so this was a recipe that we ... Read More about Baked Parmesan Panko Tilapia
