Good morning! It’s Sunday. The sun in shining. It’s spring. It’s time to be happy. OK, the last one can be a little hard in this situation we all find ourselves in, to add in the “be happy” department, here are Triple Lemony Crinkle Cookies, just covered in powdered sugar. They are tart, they are sweet and they are sure to put a smile on your face (and powdered sugar on your shirt!), but they happy cookies so time to be happy!

Sometimes, a photo turns out just right — and for some reason, I find these photos just lovely. I have baked literally tens of thousands of linzer cookies in my days and for some reason, the way that I photographed this batch makes me very happy. Sometimes it is all about the visuals — though these do taste pretty fantastic as well!
Easter is coming around again, another year gone. This year, admittedly is a little different with stay-at-home orders, social distancing and no getting together with folks to celebrate Spring. Nevertheless, I baked cookies. They are just sugar cookies, but I think that the glittery sugar makes them especially nice.
As you all know, I love Meyer Lemons. I can across a larger batch of them the last time that I was at Whole Foods, and decided to buy up the whole bunch that they had. I’ve already made standard Meyer Lemon Curd, so this time, I poured in some ginger syrup that I had, which game is quite a lovely twist. Sunshine in a jar!
I like to experiment with Chocolate Chip Cookies. There are so many out there that claim to be the “best” or “stay soft” or “stay crunchy”… some add vinegar, some add molasses. These add ovaline for flavor and vanilla pudding mix (which really just boils down to extra vanilla and corn starch) for consistency. And they are “aged” overnight and are deliciously huge. Nom nom nom!
