Cookies are an absolute favourite in my house because everyone in my family has a big sweet tooth. They’re eaten mostly as a snack or along with some coffee or tea. Because everybody literally jumps on any batch of cookies I bake they’re gone quicker than I can turn around. But at least that’s a reason to bake cookies often and of course try out and test new recipes. I actually planned to post a new recipe for chocolate cookies but I’m still working on that one. To put it mildly my last try on a great chocolate cookie recipe was a complete disaster. They didn’t turn out at all as I imagined so I still have to improve on that.

But instead I give you this amazing recipe for lemon and polenta cookies. Baked and tested successfully and then tested again. 🙂 They have an amazing lemony taste and fill the house with a warm and heavenly smell. They’re sweet but not overly sweet, so if you like it real sweet then just add a little bit more coconut blossom sugar to the dough and you’re good to go.
