Hello everyone. I am so honored to be a guest blogger for Ashley today. I am a huge fan of Ashley and all of her recipes! Here’s a little background on me… I am a recipe developer, food blogger and the staff Nutritionist at The Bar Method in Montclair, NJ where I offer workshops and individualized counseling. I have written two cookbooks which I am incredibly proud of, The Everything Wheat-Free Diet Cookbook and The Greek Yogurt Cookbook. I’m happy to share my healthy and delicious recipes with all you.

OK, now onto these fabulous Iced Lemon Cookies! I don’t know about you, but I adore lemon. And lemon just reminds me of nice, spring weather. These cookies are gluten-free but can also be made with regular all purpose flour or even whole wheat flour. Either way, they are delicious.

I gave the option of making them healthier with coconut oil and honey, but if you don’t have those ingredients then you can easily use butter and sugar. The icing on these babies has just the right amount of lemon and sweetness. And who doesn’t love icing?

Thank you for for letting me share my Iced Lemon Cookies with you! Please feel free to follow my blog, or you can follow me on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and Twitter! Have a great day 🙂
