This is a take off on the famous Ham n Goody’s lemon tea cookies from their bakery and sandwich shop in Knoxville Tennessee. I make a couple of changes to add even more lemon flavor and use palm sugar to reduce the impact of the glycemic load. Make no mistake they are still sweet and extremely lemony, kinda like eating a refreshing glass of lemonade.
