Lemon seven-layer cookies

When it comes to cookies I generally love simple recipes, the mix-everything-in-one-bowl kind of deal. But every once in a while, it's nice to make a fancy cookie, one that makes people go "Wow! You made bakery cookies!" Which is how my friends responded when I gave them my test batches, even though the first couple of times they came out kind of wonky. 

Lemon Cookies

Warm weather is here and that means lovely things like the days getting longer and backyard barbecues with massive amounts of grilled food. It also means more citrus-y  desserts, which are really great when you eat way too much at said barbecues but still want something sweet to end the meal.

Lemon Cheesecake

It's summer and it's hot. I've decided the best way to cool down is to consume creamy chilled pieces of cheesecake. Works wonders, especially if you eat it straight out of the pan from the fridge!
