Imperial Sugar Insight
Recipe developed for Imperial Sugar by Angie Barrett @BigBearsWife.
I omitted the tea and used about a tablespoon of lemon zest and they were delightful ? I have also sprinkled about 1/4 cup of sugar onto the parchment paper so the edges of the cookies have a lovely sweet sugar edge that only Imperial Sugar could provide ?
