You know what, I don’t think that I have ever made sugar cookies either… but then again I have never been a big baker. The weather here in Montreal is amazing also, 20 degrees today! Usually it is the same there in Toronto , finally some good weather eh!

I have put this book on my wishlist - sounds great! … I want a farmhouse too…

The words old-fashioned and lemon sugar make my mouth salivate!

You dream nice Cream Puff! It is near impossible for me to think you’ve not made a sugar cookie before this. They really are simple and fabulous aren’t they.

I make sugar cookies once a year - Christmas. I love the addition of lemon though - it is so spring-like and they look simple enough - so you can get outside and enjoy the spring days. Spring finally came to Minnesota also. It’s heaven. Spring and a lemon sugar cookie - perfect.

I love all manner of sugar cookies, from simple sables to cookies like this with more sugar and lemon. In fact - and I get so much crap for this from everyone I know - I don’t really like any other kind. Except biscotti - I can always handle biscotti.

I had a great image of standing in idyllic surroundings, in a flowery old-fashioned apron next to a wood burning stove, looking out at miles of flowers and fields and cows… and then realizing, HOLY CRAP, THERE’S NO STARBUCKS!!! Hee hee. That would be so me!

These cookies look fantastic!

Cheers,

Hooray for warm weather and for FINALLY making sugar cookies!! Haha

Dorrie Greenspan was musing about sugar cookies over at her blog and she had a classic quote: “I don’t know that I’ve ever formally “served” these. When they’re cool, I put them on a plate or in a basket and then, the next thing I know, they’re gone.” So true.

Nice dreaming. Baking in a wood-fired oven is probably challenging but good fun.

you surely mad me imagine all those things these cookies look so nice. Such a yummy treat , I love lemon flavour yummm

MMM, nothing like a good ol’ sugar cookie. LORD knows I need to stress eat since my teams are sucking in the playoffs.

I am craving for your sugar cookies now. Too bad that you did not post the recipe, I would surely find it out!

When we were growing up, my mom always made lemon sugar cookies. They were so delicious with just that little hint of citrus. I think we even used that recipe for our x-mas cookies! I wish I had some now!

These look delicious. I’ve been dying to make Snickerdoodles ever since I saw Chef Michael Smith make them on his show, the look is similar, but darker because of the cinnamon.
I’ve been meaning to ask, my mother has asked me to select a bakery or pastry shop from where she will order my baby shower cake. If you know of any great places, I trust your judgment, let me know!

these look really delicious

[…] here is proof that I am completely insane when it comes to distracting myself with food: Food blog Cream Puffs in Venice posted pictures of these but not the actual recipe itself, though she mentioned the cookbook where […]
