Recipe Notes
As mentioned, in this recipe for shortbread cookies we will use a lemon zest to get us that reminder of lemon. I also mentioned that you can top these cookies is with a sugar free glaze on top such as this one. or my Sugar Free Powdered Sugar.
This cookie works well when rolled out and cookie cutters (such as these ) are used to make shapes.
But, this is also a great cookie to bake for Valentines day (using heart shaped cutters)as well. *Please check the nutritional labels to assure that you are sticking to your diet restrictions for any substitutions used. - see post for alternatives
