Missing warmer weather? This light and fluffy lemon cookie is the perfect fix to your winter blues.
The work week may be wrapping up, but I'm not quite done with my theme of all things cream-filled. Earlier this week, I posted a recipe for Mini Chocolate Whoopie Pies and the response was fantastic, not only from readers but also from my friends and coworkers who are the happy recipients of my creations.

For whatever reason, Seattle just can't figure out if it wants summer to stick around this year.
