Lemon Crispy Biscuits 柠檬香脆饼 CNY 2015

These bite sized Lemon Biscuits are very crispy and full of lemony fragrance and what's more, it is eggless. You can also replace lemon zest with orange zest if you prefer. Another easy recipe not to be missed that go great with coffee or tea. Also a great gift for Chinese New Year too.

I adapted this from Eileen's Jam Sandwich Cookies with some adjustments. The lovely pictures of her sandwich cookies made me very eager to try this recipe very much. I've in fact made a few pieces of the sandwich cookies with blueberry filling the other day. The sandwich cookies are yummy but quite time consuming making them. So why not try the quick and easy way, right? :D
