If I don’t have a shopping list, I’m aimless in the grocery store and I end up buying things I don’t really need. This is why I found myself with a couple of purposeless lemons.
I thought I’d try to make this recipe for lemon spritz cookies since the recipe looked easy. But there’s no call for baking powder, baking soda, or eggs. A strange recipe but one that I thought I’d try anyway.
When I was mixing everything together, I realized that the mix was too crumbly and was never going to work. So I added 1 egg. When I noticed it was starting to come together but still needed more, I added one more egg.
Also, my lemons must have been very juicy too because I squeezed the juice from 1 lemon which meant there was about 3-4 TBSP of juice.
The cookies were tart and lemon-y. I liked them!

Yeah, there’s lots of recipes similar to that and you know it won’t work as soon as you’re finished mixing.
Also added an egg, and then found your site so followed what you did – turned out fine in the end, so thanks!
