One of the items that I love to keep in my refrigerator are lemons. These yellow beauties are filled with flavor both inside and out. By juicing or zesting, you can completely change the flavor of a savory or sweet dish and the end result can be something that is totally unexpected…in a good way.

Since I have such a love for citrus, especially when it comes to baking, I tend to accumulate more lemons than I know what to do with. I currently have a massive bag of lemons in my refrigerator and a very large bowl of oranges on my counter. I love to surround myself with citrus because not only is it perfect for home decor, it also provides me with so much inspiration.

With all of this citrus on hand, I knew that I had to get to work and create a baked good that was full of lemon flavor. What do you do when you have too many lemons on hand? You could make lemonade…or,  you could make these simple yet delicious Lemon Sandwich Cookies that are the perfect way to welcome the spring weather.
