Winter may be here, but these sunshine cookies will fill you with warmth and make any day sunny and bright!
After taking a holiday break, the Secret Recipe Club is back!
This month, I was assigned Casa Costello – a delicious (mainly) dessert blog that features something for everyone.
Helen is a UK blogger who delights in baking and recipe creating. It was such a great joy to browse through her site and get a peak inside her world across the pond.
We finally got our first snow fall today here in New York, which in my mind makes Winter official.
I don’t think I’m quite ready to deal with the cold and all the ice that follows, so to lift my spirits, I baked up a batch of Helen’s Sunshine Cookies, bursting with citrus and finished off with a sprinkle of icing sugar!
They immediately lifted my spirits and paired splendidly well with a soothing cup of tea.
