HIGH TEA LEMON COOKIES
It's very important to use room temperature butter, not melted or softened. Cookies will become crumbly otherwise. Do not refrigerate this dough, it will become very difficult to work with.

LEMON TEA COOKIES
These sandwich cookies taste rich and buttery and have a lovely lemon filling. The recipe has been in our family since the 1950s, when my mother got it from a French friend in her club. —Phyllis Dietz, Westland, Michigan

MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH LEMON DROP COOKIES
The addition of cornstarch to these cookies really makes them melt in your mouth! The fact that they are egg-free makes them good for those allergic to eggs, and since the cookies are little, it is easy to eat a bunch - unfortunately... :) These are a nice addition to a summer BBQ, a baby shower, or any get-together. These can be made with any citrus fruit, but we like lemon the best!
