Quest 25: Lemon WindFish Egg Cookies

20140403_185918Nothing is better than cookies, except for maybe more cookies. This recipe is a delicate lemon sugar cookie that is super simple to make. These cookies are freezer cookies, so plan ahead when making them. In true LOZ fashion, we are shaping this cookies into triangle shapes to so when they bake, they look like Windfish eggs! And rolling the cookies in pink sugar to make them shine really makes them pop. These cookies will be put you in the mood for spring - even though it's still snowing here. :(
