MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH LEMON DROP COOKIES RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Melt-In-Your-Mouth Lemon Drop Cookies Recipe - Food.com image

The addition of cornstarch to these cookies really makes them melt in your mouth! The fact that they are egg-free makes them good for those allergic to eggs, and since the cookies are little, it is easy to eat a bunch - unfortunately... :) These are a nice addition to a summer BBQ, a baby shower, or any get-together. These can be made with any citrus fruit, but we like lemon the best!
