Lemon Crisps (Cookie Press)

Prep:10minCook:10min

There are a great addition to a dessert table or tea party. The recipe makes about 7 dozen cookies, which is quite a lot unless you are baking for a party. You can freeze cookies up to 3 months. Alternatively, bake off part of the dough and freeze the rest in portions. Make sure to label the ziplock or container with the recipe name and date you froze it. This way you can take out a cup of the dough when you need it. Just defrost it overnight in the fridge, then leave on the counter to come to room temperature before baking.
