Haylee's Note:
I got this from my friend's sister's blog here. Last week Darin bought me a lemon sugar cookie from kneaders that was super delicious! I thought I would give it a try! Can you tell that I am on a citrus kick?...lime chicken, grapefruit sorbet, lemon cookies? I am hoping that my citrus cooking will make spring come faster!
