Gluten/Dairy Free Easter Egg Lemon Sugar Cookies

March 20, 2018 Recipes

Try making these delicious gluten/dairy free Easter egg lemon sugar cookies that don’t disappoint!

Hello there friends! Are you ready for some more Spring time fun?! Today I’m showing you how to make these sweet delicious gluten/dairy free Easter Egg Lemon Sugar Cookies… I’ve joined my friend Krista at The Happy Housie again for the Seasonal Simplicity Spring Series.

I have actually shared this recipe before at Christmas time, but I took it a step further by icing the cookies differently and adding a splash of vibrant lemon flavor!

You can find the entire recipe here. Please note that this time around, I added the zest of a lemon and the juice of half a lemon to the batter.

The sugar cookie dough on a wooden cutting board with a rolling pin beside it.

Take your chilled dough and flour the surface.

Cutting out the cookie shapes on the cutting board.

Roll it out to your liking of thickness and begin cookie cutting. I used egg shapes this time around!

The sugar cookies cooling on a baking rack.

Bake the lemon sugar cookies according to directions and then let them cool completely before icing.

A bowl full of icing and the cookies laid out on the table.

Here is how I decorated these whimsical delightful cookies…

A circle of icing on the lemon cookie.

I started by running a border with cookie icing. I used this brand, but you could easily make your own. Then I filled in the border with this brand icing as well (The picture on the container was my inspiration for the cookie designs I used here). Please note, the icing I used did have some egg in it. And as I said before, you could substitute with any cookie icing you prefer.

Adding pastel pink icing to the cookies.

Next I mixed a separate batch of icing with pretty pastel gel food coloring. The colors were soft and perfect for spring. I used a metal skewer to add a small dollop onto the already iced cookie.

Creating a floral shape with a small brush and the pink icing.

Then I took my wiped clean skewers again and dragged in down through the dollops. This creates a heart or floral shape almost.

I have always wanted to make designs like this as they remind me of the fancy foamed coffee you can get. The designs I have seen are truly remarkable. Isn’t it amazing that something as basic as coffee can be so beautiful!

And here you can see all the cookies spread out. I played with all kinds of designs, some I liked more than others ;)… But nonetheless, it was a joy to get artsy with some baked goods.

Wouldn’t these be pretty set in the center of a plate for a dinner setting?!

Pink flowers on the table beside the cookies.

They almost felt too pretty to eat. but that didn’t stop any of us, lol.

I also got the cute idea that you could fill one of the porcelain egg containers and place it in a food safe plastic bag. Finish it off with a darling bow and gift tags.

This would make a sweet hostess gift, teacher appreciation or any kind gesture for a friend/family.

And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿

Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices

We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕

I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 !

You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
