I got the recipe from my mom’s collection of recipes that she gave to me years ago. She used to make it for baby showers and holidays (mostly Christmas). They’re heaven, they melt in your mouth and the fresh lemon flavor just fills the mouth. Mmm!

      Wow! Only four ingredients? Maybe I can make these without ruining them. They look great.

      I love it! So spring-y! We have themes at my church for the monthly potluck, and the upcoming one is “Think Spring;” I think these would the perfect nod to the melting snow outside.

      Juliette, I like your idea. I have never used Meyer lemons. I bet this would be a great application to try them as their flavor would really shine through and be appreciated.
