Lemon Rosemary Cookies

Lemon Rosemary Cookies | kristinschell.com | easy & delicious cookie recipe perfect for sharing with neighbors

Sometimes me think what is love, and then me think love is what last cookie is for. Me give up the last cookie for you. ~ Cookie Monster

Not too long ago my neighbor Mandy showed up at the turquoise table with a platter of Lemon Rosemary Cookies. Our neighborhood Front Yard Friday was adapted this particular Good Friday for an eggstravaganza. We lost count of how many kids showed up to dye Easter eggs and just rolled with chaos that came with hundreds of hard boiled eggs, dozens of spilled dye cups, and endless confetti from the endless supply of cascarones.

I would have loved these cookies under any circumstance, but on that particular afternoon these shortbread bites spiked with lemon and fresh rosemary tasted like a little morsel of heaven.

When the platter had made the rounds and there was only one cookie left, there was a moment of truth between me and my neighbor. We both offered the final cookie with a magnanimous gesture volleying the “no you take it” schtick back and forth like we meant it.

When it finally occurred to us to split the last cookie I renamed them Love Your Neighbor Cookies.

Speaking of loving your neighbor, I’m over at my friend Deidra Riggs’ blog today. I’m sharing a post called 6 Ways To Get-To-Know Your Neighbor. Come join us at Deidra’s and read how our neighborhood opened our front doors and started looking for opportunities to get to know each other in more meaningful ways.

If you don’t already know Deidra, take some time and linger at her place. You will feel like you’ve met a long lost friend! She is a gifted writer, inspiring speaker, and she’s jumped out of an airplane and lived to give a TED Talk about it!

And, if you found your way to my table via my friend I’m so glad you are here.

Welcome!

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
