What is May Day, anyway?
Its origin dates back thousands of years!
For me and many others, it's a celebration of Spring . . . of May flowers brought by April showers, dancing around a May Pole . . . celebrating fertile grounds, and of blooming and fruited trees.
I thought I would celebrate this sweet and lovely day with lemon crumble cookies for my dearest friends.
For this loveliest of Spring days . . .
I thought I would fill mason jars with petite lemon crumble cookies, and then dress them up with twine and a burlap posy flower.
I hope you feel inspired to bake a batch of these bright and cheery (and delicious) cookies today!
Lemon Crumble Cookies are a cross between a danish and a cookie! You'll fall in love!
