I decided to share this “green” recipe with you today to celebrate the Eagles win!! I hope you all had a ton of fun last night watching the big game!

A friend of mine gave me a recipe for lemon cookies. I tweaked it a bit to make the cookies gluten and nut free with a lime twist! They are “melt in your mouth” delicious. Give them a try today. Happy Monday!

Ingredients

• 1 cup cane sugar

• 1 1/2 cups Cup 4 Cup flour

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Staples: 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp salt

1 1/2 – 2 tbsp warm water

1 cup powdered sugar
