Cookies are a simple pleasure I can never resist. I love baking them for special occasions or just as a fun activity on a cozy day at home. There’s no shortage of cookie recipes out there, so I always have a new one to try out. When I came across the recipe for these Italian Lemon Drop Cookies I knew I had to give them a go for my next baking day. Pretty much every Italian baked good I’ve tried has knocked it out of the park and these were no exception!

Something about a zesty lemon baked good always hits the spot. The light, refreshing flavor is perfectly balance by the sweetness, and always leaves me wanting another bite. These cookies have an optional glaze, but it’s so simple to whip up that I highly recommend taking the extra step. It’s the perfect finishing touch to elevate this easy treat!

Whether you’re adding this recipe to your holiday baking list or making a batch for your next potluck, these cookies are sure to be a hit. Everyone loves a zesty treat and these definitely fit the bill. Make sure to save a few cookies for yourself because they’re sure to disappear in a flash!
