Chill and slice cookies are my favourite because they are so easy! I love being able to make the dough in advance and just slice and bake when I want to. These morsels are delicious....lemon being one of my favourite flavours. Very, very easy to whip together which is usually what I need nowadays! Thanks Seasoned Cook....there will probably always be a roll or two of these in my fridge/freezer.
