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.

  14. Tammy, Good timing...Nice comfort cookies with the taste of sunshine for the coldest weather we've had here in East Tennessee so far this winter. We will probably even have snow tomorrow! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
