Zesty Lemon will go back into our recipe library at the end of summer.  Order while you still can!

 

Each bite of the Zesty Lemon Brown Butter Sea Salt Shortbread Cookie is an exploration of contrasts, from sweet and savory to rich and citrusy. The rich warmth of brown butter combined with the vibrant zest of fresh lemons creates a perfect balance of flavors. The brown butter brings a luxurious, nutty undertone, while the zesty lemon infusion adds a burst of brightness, making it an indulgent experience that keeps you coming back for more.

THEN & NOW

In 2008, the Hozie sisters sold handmade cookies in their small artisan shop. What started as a welcome sample quickly became the best selling product. More than 15 years later, these samples are still offered to guests in all three of the Brown Butter Cookie Company shop locations.
