#CreativeCookieExchange is a group of bloggers who like to bake cookies and each month we are guided by a theme and this month our theme is Chips, Chunks or Bits. When I found these lemon bits at King Arthur's Flour, I knew I would be incorporating them into my cookie for this month.
I love this cookie. It's different from my usual cookie in that it is thin, a bit chewy and lightly flavored. The oatmeal, flavored with a bit of ginger, is a nice compliment to the lemon bits. The lemon is not overwhelming at all, just a bit of freshness at the end!
