One of my favorite traditions for the first day back to school is to have freshly baked cookies and milk waiting for my kids when they get home. We started the tradition a few years ago, and these easy lemon cookies have been my go-to for the occasion. They come together in minutes and are always a crowd-pleaser in our home.
Whether you make them for the first day of school or any other occasion, they're sure to be a hit!
