One of the best things about the holiday season–in my opinion–is the baking!  I love to bake and my kids love to eat. As a family, we watch The Great British Baking Show (we are constantly re-watching every season) and my oldest loves spending time working through a recipe with me in the kitchen.

In my upcoming release, A Perfect Picture of Us, the hero’s mom spends an afternoon baking with the heroine. They whip up a batch of lemon cookies. I love citrus and the bright flavor (especially in the middle of winter). I didn’t have any particular recipe in mind when I mentioned the cookies, but I will be working on these recipes myself in the coming days.

Citrus Butter Cookies from The Pioneer Woman

Lemon Tea Cookies from Betty Crocker

Meyer Lemon Shortbread Cookies (Merry Gourmet, tweaked Ina Garten recipe)

Happy Baking!
