I love the crushed lemon drop candy in these cookies. We have four boys here and these cookies would disappear in a minute. And not just from the boys!!!!
Dan from Platter Talk says
Ha! Allie, believe me, we get it! Thanks for the great comments!
Jeff the Chef says
That sounds like a potent lemon combination. Does the lemon candy wind up melting into the batter?
Dan from Platter Talk says
Jeff, these are not overpowering at all. Most of the candy melts nicely, some of it hangs around, leaving a light, sandy crunch! These are quite addictive, to put it mildly 🙂
