OGM!

THese are the best lemon cooler cookies I have ever tasted! Only once before have I ever had ones that were so lemony that you almost puckered while enjoying the decadent sweetness of them. THese are better!

Thanks so much Lori for finding this recipe - it is definitely going to get a lot of use here!

well, phooey, Alexa, I wish we were sampling all these cookies together! You are right again! I love lemon and these are sooo good. (I'm not going to need dinner tonight...)

Lori sent them in a prety little tin -

and the cookies arrived in perfect condition.My aunt Susan is going to LOVE these, too! I can't wait to make up a tray and impress everyone! They are Lemon Coolers and the name fits - they are so lemony and refreshing. Lori said that they always had them at Christmas time, growing up.

Thank you - this exchange is just the coolest thing!

Lori, Michigan does have a small border with Wisconsin, but it's via the Upper Peninsula, several hours north of me, LOL. I'm about half way up the state, on the west side, and about 40 miles inland from that "big lake". Wisconsin is pretty much straight across from me, Peppi is a little bit south. Hey, I promised to take stepmom to Chicago sometime in August, maybe we could all meet at Peppi's! (snicker) Another possibility is Elery's house, he's in Jackson, not far from the southern Michigan border. No working farm, but I could drive down there, meet you and you could at least save the cost of a night's lodging and get a meal or two, if the timing is such that you wanted to stop for the night. Every little bit helps when you're travelling, and especially with kids... Annie

Lori316, Thinking of you this week
Q
Comments (35)
Hi Lori, I've been thinking alot about your family this season too. It's good to hear about you and the kids and that you are moving through things as best you can. A family in our community suffered a tragedy like yours about a month ago and I can only hope that they have the strength and support to weather things with the fortitude and aplomb that you have in this difficult time. I know you have no designs on being an example but you have been in so many ways. I wish you and your family peace in the new year, and I thank you for all you've shared with us in dealing with a family tragedy, it gave me the appropriate ways to help and support another family too. You are amazing, my heart and hope goes out to you and your children. I hope the new year holds a wealth of joy and new hope for you and the kids!

WANTED: Lori316, I recieved your Wonderful Swap Package today!!!
Q
Comments (29)
Oh, Diana, I'm so glad you like it. Your package has a funny story behind it. When i shipped it, they never asked for payment...and I never realized that until a few days later. I called to pay for it (so you wouldn't have to! LOL) The woman got into an argument with me on the phone insisting it had already been paid for, but instead wanted to collect because the package had somehow got valued at $300. Anyway, that's why it was delayed, and that's why it says COD on it. My apologies. I was embarrassed that they were asking you to pay for your swap box! And that cake plate...I think i'm going to go back to the store and pick one up for myself. But what's even better, if you take the top off, place it on the counter, and take the stand off and cover it...voila, a tagine! I had fun shopping for you, Diana. I hope you use everything in good health!

Happy Birthday Lori316!

Thank you, everybody! And a special thank you for the email from Lyra this morning letting me know these birthday wishes were here (and the other occasional check-ins), although, truthfully, I do check in here much more often than I used to. The kids are well. Brian, a senior, made All American in indoor track and will be a freshman at Brown University in the fall! Yes, I am beaming. His dad would be so proud. He was state champion, winning the same race his dad won as a HS senior 43 yrs ago. He put his medal at Bob's gravesite. Connor has grown into such a handsome young man (just turned 15) with a heart of gold. He also had a successful track season and is doing well in his freshman year. Mackenzie...she's not my little baby any more. She will be nine in a few weeks. Can you remember my first post after Bob passed? "How do you explain death to a six year old?" We've all come a long way since then. As most of you know, I have found a wonderful man to complete my life. The realtor just called yesterday to say the seller agreed with his offer on 4.5 acres of beautiful waterfront land, and we are finalizing house plans. Seth has promised me my dream kitchen! I'm checking out the kitchen forum, starting that process all over again. The KF brings back fond memories because it's where I first met many of you. So life is good. I am happy. Me...happy! Who knew?? You know those sickening people you see pawing each other, looking all goofy in each other's eyes, and you just want to say, "get a room"? That's us!!! ;) I have found somebody to love who loves me back endlessly. I am head over heels, and we are planning a life together that I can't wait to start. I still don't know why God took Bob away, but he has given me a wonderful gift for the second half of my life. What better birthday present than that?

I NEED that recipe! Lemon coolers are my favoritest cookies in the whole world. The puckier the better! I used to buy some very expensive ones, but can't find them anymore. Pepperidge Farm makes a nice one, but not puckery enough. I definitely want to make these beautiful morsels.

Oh boy, I got some too. I love anything with lemon and I've already eaten two. Ashley hates lemon so they are all mine!!

{{gwi:1467841}}

These are so good, lemony and covered with powdered sugar so you get that sweet/tart flavor.

I think I'm going to go have another one...

Oh my, I LOVE anything lemon and especially love lemon coolers. I haven't had any in years. And like Sherry, the puckier the better. There's another recipe I'll need to copy! Lori, they look awesome.

I'm so glad everybody liked them so far. I will post the recipe in the morning, but these are very easy and tasty.

I have a sugar high from eating so many cookies tonight (I got 4 dozen today!) My tray looks so pretty.

This is such a fun swap!

I got lucky and have puckered up more than once today already! Lori, these are wonderful! Thank you!

I'm giving up on the idea of saving any of the cookies from this exchange for any future sharing. I think they will all be history be the end of the weekend. LOL!!

Thanks again Lori!

Wow, Sharon, I was beginning to think customs stole them. I'm glad you like them and that they weren't stale from the delay. They told me you'd get them Saturday at the latest. Guess they were wrong.

At any rate, I'm happy that you're a fan. I was nervous sending them out!

Does anyone know if Lori316 ever posted the recipe for these cookies? I just found this thread and they look and sound wonderful! I searched but didn't find it. I'd love to try them!
