Lemon Biscuits: Easy and delicious cookies, that I want to share!

 

I always have lemons in the fridge, because it's like the basic ingredient for the baking. But there are many times which I was too busy (with my work, well, I'm not lucky enough to bake for living) and I had to find the recipe to use it, as I don't like to waste anything.

This time the recipe that comes to save my life come form The Olive magazine Issue: February 2010. Talking about the magazine, I really like this one. There was a time that I just couldn't resist it, I buy 4-5 magazines per month (well,  they are good but it's too much I never had enough time to try the recipes from them). So, I try to change, I just read it before buying it (^ ^, so, now you know that most of the time I just grab them from the shelf and pay>*<, no browsing just paying, very bad habit).
But this one is still the one that I buy almost every month, I like the photo (the style of the photo is great, and very modern), I like the easy recipes which I never disappointed. There is another magazine from the BBC, that my friend's very crazy about, the BBC Good Food, she's really love it. But for me Good Food is great but I still like Olive more.

If you like cooking or baking, you know that food magazine is a good way to give you the inspiration. I love to read about the new trend in cooking or baking market (I think, because I have blog about baking so I'm in this business too, I have my mission to show you some great baking trend, haha). Anyway, the thing that I really get from all of my magazine is the good recipe to share with all of you, and hope you like it too.

And this time the recipe that I want to share with you is the lemon biscuits, it's very easy to make, because this time you don't have to use anything much, only the food processor.
Just pour everything into the machine, step by step, roll and cut, then bake, and you get the tangy sweet (and delicious) cookie, ^ ^ fresh from the oven. The Lemon icing is easy to make too, it makes the cookie looks lovely and more yummy.
After baking and drizzling with the icing, it's your decision that you want to keep them for your own tea time treat (^ ^, I know that you consider this one first), or give it to your friends or any people you love, well, 60 cookies is a lot, so sharing them with other people is my suggestion, and they will love you much much more, haha.
