1. Coconut Macaroons

My favorite Coconut Macaroons are so easy to make, and in my opinion (humble, of course 😉), the best coconut macaroons ever. They’re made without sweetened condensed milk so they aren’t too sweet or sticky, and instead are soft and chewy. Watch an easy step-by-step video.

2. Lemon Cream Cheese Crinkle Cookies

Lemon Cream Cheese Crinkle Cookies are made with fresh lemon juice and zest, and are so incredibly soft thanks to the cream cheese. They’re rolled in powdered sugar before baking so they come out of the oven perfectly crinkled.

3. Lemon Sandwich Cookies

These Lemon Sugar Cookie Sandwiches begin with my favorite chewy sugar cookie recipe (with a lemon twist) and are filled with creamy lemon buttercream. They’re so soft and so chewy.

4. Lemon Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza

Lemon Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza is a dessert that can feed a crowd! You can make it with homemade sugar cookie dough or store bought cookie dough, and it’s topped with a lemon cream cheese frosting. Top it with fresh berries!

6. Angel Food Cake

Homemade Angel Food Cake is one of my favorite springtime desserts, and it’s one of my favorite Easter cakes. It’s a few simple ingredients that do require a few steps, but the ultra light and fluffy angel food cake is absolutely worth it. Plus, it’s a lower fat dessert!

The best Lemon Meringue Pie recipe is made with a buttery crust, filled with a creamy lemon custard, and topped with mile high meringue topping. This is my favorite Lemon Meringue Pie because the lemon filling isn’t too tart—it’s perfectly sweet and ultra creamy.

12. Lemon Cream Pie
