LEMON TEA CAKES
Lemon perfection! These are light and fresh tasting cookies. The perfect complement to your afternoon tea or a lovely evening treat. Lemonade Kool-Aid makes the cookie sweet but tart. Make sure you let the cookies completely cool before dipping into the sugar mix. They are fragile and will crumble if still warm.

[email protected]These cakes are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe by 1/4 cup.
