Sweet Melissa Sunday Sugar cookies

Thank you to Nina of  http://ninascupcakes.blogspot.com/ for selecting the Sugar cookies. Nina is a wonderful baker and a busy college students. SHe is famous for baking  her college friends wonderful goodies. Im sure they appreciate her very much. She is also very faithful in leaving comments on every SMS bakers page. I love getting her comments and reading the sweet things she has to say.

Some of the reviews weren't so good for these cookies. I have learned from baking that you can add your own twist to any recipe.  What I did with these...I added the entire zest from a lemon, a few squirts of fresh lemon juice,  3/4 cup of sugar in stead of a 1/2 of a cup. I didn't see any baking powder in the recipe, so I added my own 1 1/2 tsp. The cookies definitely did not come out bland. They were outstanding. I loved the lemon flavoring.It was not to lemony but just perfect!

Cutting the dough....

Ready to bake...

Yummy sugar cookies...




I am not a patient decorater..Im lucky if I get the frosting COLORED..I do love the SPRING colors, don't you!



All these cute little chicks ready to wobble right into my mouth!

Thanks again Nina for your selection. WE all love them very much. Be sure to check out her blog for the recipe!

Thank you so much for baking with me this week and for the wonderful comments! I agree, not everyone liked these, but I love what you did with them. I think the cookies are so adorable! The spring colors really popped and it looks like everyone's ready for the weather to be warmer and more spring-like!

You are amazing. These are beautiful. To think, they are the same cookies.

Thanks for coming by. Actually, I did post the recipe. I thought, I had put it on pending and did not realize it published on Thursday.

My husband loved these and wants more. I made them gluten free. All plain cookies become GF because he is a plainer cookie eater. Chocolate is for me and is not GF.

Michelle, your cookies looks so SPRING! Love your additions to the recipe too.

I am with you. Spring is such a refreshing start of the year. Unfortunately, here on the coast of Washington, Spring is notorious for lots more rain. . . but I think the most snow we had was 1/4" for the whole year. . .maybe this Spring will be different for us too. Happy Monday my dear baking friend!
