6 Fresh Lemon-Flavored Desserts
Updated: Apr. 10, 2021From our friends at McCormick®: Here are seven ways to use McCormick® Pure Lemon Extract, for extra zesty, flavorful recipes all year long. A good rule of thumb when adding Pure Lemon Extract to a recipe is 1 teaspoon Extract = 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon peel, so you can add it to any recipe in lieu of fresh lemon.
Lemon-Clove Cookies
The flavor combination of clove and lemon is delightful. Add this recipe to your holiday cookie baking.
Lemon-Thyme Bars
This three-layer bar makes a satisfying and sweet dessert. The buttery, thyme-speckled crust is a perfect foundation for a zesty lemon filling.
Lemon Glazed Ginger Cookies
This is one of Lauren Chattman’s favorite cookies for cookie swaps. It features the classic flavor combination of warm ginger and tangy lemon. Chattman is a former pastry chef and author of Cookie Swap! (Workman, 2010)
