Cute lemon tart cookies
Bobbie Bakes at 5th Avenue Cake Designs shared this enchanting lemon pie/tart tutorial.
Just looking at the photos enticed my tastebuds, with those adorable royal icing blueberries, charming lemon slices decoratively placed on the meringue and encompassed with an icing crust.
Tart cookies would be a wonderful desert to serve at a 4th of July picnic, easy to transport and one sugar cookie recipe would enable you to display a plethora of the lemon tart cookies!
