I don’t usually experiment with cookies. I’m a traditionalist. Chocolate chip cookies are the cookies that I make. They are always enjoyed by everyone, always hit the spot and they are a classic cookie. But I had lemons and wanted to use them. These lemon cookies were very moist. I had a little trouble with the first batch as I don’t think I baked them long enough and they were very floppy. The second I left in the oven longer and they were much better. I was surprised how lemony the flavour was. I have paired the cookies with a Kenyan black tea from Kitimai that I got at the Toronto Tea Festival this year, 2020. A little milk added in makes a big difference. I very nice tea but everything tastes better with cookies!
