Sugar Cookies
Sugar cookies are such a classic dessert. Growing up, when someone mentioned sugar cookies, I always thought of the kind that you roll out and cut using cookie cutters. Since moving out of my parent’s house, I’ve realized that not all sugar cookies are rolled out. Some are just dropped onto a cookie sheet like chocolate chip cookies. Crazy what you learn when you start to grow up…
These sugar cookies are brought to you via Bizzy Bakes since it’s time again for The Secret Recipe Club. I’ve really enjoyed my time with the club, but work has gotten to a crazy level and I’m going to be taking a break from SRC for a few months. I’m sure I’ll be back since it’s been so much fun “meeting” new bloggers every month.
These cookies would be perfect for any occasion since you can use any color of sugar that you prefer. The lemon zest provides just a subtle hint of something so the flavor isn’t too flat. Be sure not to overbake these so they’re not hard and gross (mine baked for 8 minutes).

Your strawberries are beautiful! I like to add a little salt to my chocolate…it really brings out the flavor! There are perfect for V-day 🙂 I made your crustless quiche last night…to die for!! Thanks for the recipe.
Very pretty. I kind of like them on a stick! It would be a fun way to serve them.
Just lovely. I want them on a stick too! Anything on a stick is better!
Beautiful! Chocolate covered strawberries are a favorite of mine. What a great idea putting them upright in foam so they don’t grow feet! I’m going to try that the next time I make them. 🙂
What a great idea! Makes them absolutely perfect!
These strawberries are beautiful! What a great idea to put a stick in them for display.
I love chocolate covered strawberries. The little white chocolate swirl makes them really fun 🙂
