Lemon Glazed Cookies: Surprise Baby Shower For Liz!

Lemon Glazed Cookies start with a tender lemon shortbread cookie and then topped with a sweet lemon glaze. They make the perfect afternoon snack or treat to bring to a baby shower or brunch.

Lemon Glazed Cookies

I love surprises! Today some of my fellow food bloggers and I are surprising Liz from The Lemon Bowl with a baby shower! Liz is expecting her second boy soon! I haven’t had the privilege of meeting Liz in person yet but from my interactions with her online she seems like such a wonderful Mom! Liz and I have a few things in common including our Middle Eastern heritage, obsession with lemons and the fact we are both pregnant with our second boy!

When I was told that for Liz’s shower we are sharing a recipe using lemons I was so excited! Lemons are one of my favorite things to put in food and drinks. For Liz’s baby shower I made Lemon Glazed Cookies. These are seriously addictive.  I baked these for Liz’s virtual shower and then I brought them to a brunch I was helping to host for 15 women and they were a huge hit (I couldn’t have them staring at me all day or I would have eaten them all).

These Lemon Glazed Cookies remind me of a shortbread cookie (lemon flavored) with a sweet lemon glaze on top and a little lemon zest to finish it all off.
