The Ultimate Lemon Cookie Recipe.The Ubiquitous Lemon !Lemons are everywhere in Greece ......... and there is no greater simple pleasure than being able to step out of your door in the morning and pick a lemon from the tree, fresh and wonderful, here on the Greek island where I live it is an absolute joy to be able to do this all year round, as the lemon trees here fruit abundantly every month of the year.
The bright yellow color of the fruit and aromatic scent of the young flowers perfuming the garden never ceases to uplift your spirits - here in Greece you are never far from a lemon, they are used for everything, cooking, cleaning, as a first aid staple, for beauty treatments, hair and hands and of course daily in cooking - a meal is never complete without a lemon and olive oil ! This lemon cookie recipe is one of our favorite homemade cookie recipes, as its zesty, tangy flavors combined with the sweetness of the biscuit are irresistibly more-ish :)
Choose between pistachios, almonds or hazlenuts, for its nutty crunch or omit them if preferred and substitute with sultanas - all of the variations are delicious !
