What do cookies and content have in common?
Sometimes, you have to do something a little different to stand out.
Usually, everyone brings chocolate, fudge, or peppermint cookies to the cookie swaps. I love chocolate, but I actually get a little tired of it this time of year (gasp! I know.)
This is why I love Lemon Drop cookies. They're different and refreshing, plus they are easy to make. And, as cookies go, they're on the healthier side since they're made with yogurt, at least as healthy as you can get with cookies.
