Nothing like a bright and sweet treat to pick you up as the weather gets warmer!
Alright, listen: now that Lent is over, we can maybe take a break from all our serious poor man recipes and instead break out some delicious treats for the warmer weather. These cookies, which I found on Slovenian Kitchen by Michelle, are ones that are quick, simple, easy, and full of bright lemony flavor—exactly what we want for our outdoor lunches, picnics, and all that other good stuff. But it's a European cookie through and through, because it's got some differences from a standard sugar cookie.
The main ingredients we're looking at today for our magic are the lemon, vanilla, egg, and almond. Yes, almond. All of these things together make the sweetest blend of magic for growing and maintaining some great, stable friendships, so let's get into it.
Magic in Slovenian Lemon Cookies (Limonini Piškoti)
While the lemon hex has become a little (in)famous on TikTok, the reality is that lemons can be used to help as much as they can be used to sting. In fact, onse of their most famous uses is for specifically friendship, along with purification and love. It's why it's a great ingredient to include if you're bringing something to a pot luck or a new friend's place!
But combine that with vanilla, egg, and almond, and you also have the basis for yet more loving, sweet energy and plenty of abundance, as well as protection, rebirth, and new beginnings (making these especially great if you're leaving a friend group and creating another). Almonds, too, are associated with wisdom, making it easy to discern your new friends, as well.
With the energies of Venus, Mercury, Pluto, and the Moon, as well as water and air with the tiniest touch of fire from Pluto's influence, these cookies are all about a sense of calm, grounding, and intellectual strength. These planets are ones that focus on the emotional state of mind, balance and beauty, and good communication skills, and these elements likewise support these endeavors. No high passions, no intensity, no aggression—just a mellow, thoughtful, and peaceful vibe to help you connect with those around you in a gentle and authentic way.

I dunno about y'all, but I have such a hankering to go on a picnic. This summer is definitely one where I need to get outside and do that, and I think I'll be bringing these cookies with me when I do. Sweet, simple, and delicious, they're sure to be a hit, so try them out! ♥
