Yes, the lemon curd is back. This time we made lemon curd snowball cookies. It was easy for me because I was able to make up a version I could eat and one the rest of the family could eat. It definetely made my life easy!
This week my daughter is off to her first week long camp and to say I'm sad is an understatement. These cookies definetely helped to ease the pain of her being gone a little bit.
They hit the spot and you can never go wrong with lemon!

- Add in the flour, baking powder and salt, mixing until the dough becomes soft and sticky.
- Drop dough by tablespoons onto the cookie sheet, leaving a couple inches of space between the cookies.
