Time for Lemon Thyme Cookies...

I only make these cookies in the summer time when my lemon thyme is in abundance.  These delicious cookies are crisp on the edges and soft in the middle.  Here is the recipe !!
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tbsp. lemon thyme
Directions...
  1. Sift together flour and cream of tartar
  2. Cream butter and sugar in separate bowl
  3. Add eggs, mix well
  4. Blend in the flour until incorporated
  5. Fold in lemon thyme
  6. Chill for 2 hours then roll into balls the size of walnuts
  7. Bake on a silpat sheet for 10 to 12 minutes
I made a quick sugar glaze to spread on top with powdered sugar, lemon zest and lemon oil from my King Arthur outing.

      They sound wonderful and they looks so summery. I wish I had some lemon thyme. I had some at my other house. I need to plant some. Just for those cookies.

      OOOOHHH, do these sound fabulous! I've tried thyme lemonade but never thyme lemon cookies! I'll just have to find some lemon oil for the icing and I'm all set. I have tons of lemon and lime time. I like it as a ground cover as well as an herb. Thanks for sharing!

      I love the combination of sweet and savory, and these look so pretty. I left my herb garden in California, so I'll have to hunt down some lemon thyme.

      What pretty cookies and the flavor sounds amazing! I've put lavender in cookies but I never tried lemon thyme. I should make a batch of both while I have both herbs growing so well in my garden.
