See those cookies? They are so good and soft but ultimately refreshing. This recipe makes 20 to 22 cookies. I have 7 kids, but this recipe is sufficient to feed my big family. If you are hosting a tea party, or just having friends and family over, make sure to double (or even triple) the ingredients.
