After making those Lemon Cheesecake Bars, I was on a lemon roll!! Get it? Get it? 😀
I know, I’m cheesy… so let’s get onto the fooood shall we? This Buttery Lemon Shortbread Cookie Dough is the springtime snack!
It’s light, it’s fresh, it’s summery and it’s… good for ya?!
YUP.
It’s buttery, yet contains no butter.
It’s sweet, yet contains no sugar.
It’s doughy, yet contains no gluten.
Heck yes. I’ll take the whole batch please.

Can you believe it? I think I’m crying with joy. Despite the clean, fresh lemon flavor, this tastes like one serious diet-buster. But 280 calories for a filling snack filled with fiber and protein? Sounds pretty darn good to me.
I know what I’m making all summer long!
