If you put lemon in something, I immediately want to eat it. It’s a character flaw, and I’m working on it. Just kidding, I would never ever try to remove anything lemon from my life. Lemon bars, lemon pies, lemon cookies – I love them all. In fact, I keep a large stash of lemons in my kitchen so I’m never deprived of those sour beauties.
Speaking of character flaws, I’m the worst kind of impulse buyer. I try my best to never go into stores alone, but unfortunately, last week I went into a craft store alone and somehow ended up in the baking section. After so much debate and rationalization, I bought a huge tub of sprinkles, among other things. Once I got home, I took one look at my beloved pile of lemons and new exactly what I was going to do with them – lemon sprinkle cookies!
These cookies have a nice, lemon flavor. It’s not a kick-you-in-the-face like how I like my lemon bars, but it’s light and makes for a perfect Spring/Summer-time cookie. The sprinkles add a touch of adorableness and a little extra sweetness, so please don’t leave them out! If you’re a strict vegan of dairy free, please be careful what brand of sprinkles you buy because I’m sure not all types are vegan. You can also make your own sprinkle’s using the recipe on Chocolate Covered Katie.

I, too, have a serious lemon-loving character flaw. And an even worse impulse-buying flaw. While I’ll probably have to work on the latter since I’ll inevitably run out of money, I neverrr want to give up my love for lemon desserts — or these pretty, sprinkly cookies!
Can we start an impulse shopping support group? Where everytime we feel like shopping, we just bake a pile of lemon desserts. Win-win.
