Lemon Cookie Dip
My days seem to be filled with lots of running around and juggling the time I have to fit everything in.
Work, errands, kids, activities, working out, cleaning, laundry, dishes, and the list goes on!
Some days grabbing a quick treat will help me get out of my own way,
and to give me a moment to remember how blessed I am,
and look forward to what is coming up next.
There is always something to look forward to, whether it’s the next hour or the next day.
Now there is always something coming up next.
Some days I’m not sure I’ve gotten a handle on all of it.
Sometimes I just need a moment, and well… that moment will often include chocolate or lemon.
Today it’s including both.
Pepperidge Farm® Milano® Cookies come in Lemon and Chocolate and I couldn’t wait to try them.
WOW, lemon and chocolate are delicious together.
It’s great to savor moments with favorites!
I love lemon so much, I wanted to share this fun Lemon Cookie Dip with you.
It’s a quick recipe and takes only a couple minutes to make. Making it perfect for when I’m taking time to myself (and will be perfect for times when I will be sharing these great cookies with others). Often it’s great to have a no-bake dessert that is ready in minutes that will go with your favorite cookies.
Milano cookies are a favorite around here and I am sure to have a bag of them when we take a car trip too. Truth be told I sometimes keep a bag of them in my console in my car for the few moments I have between errands.
This lemon cookie dip is easy to whip up.
Just let cream cheese and butter come to room temperature (or microwave it on defrost to gently soften it without melting it) if the ingredients get to warm, it will be soupy). Mix the cream cheese with butter along with powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, lemon and vanilla extract and a drop of yellow food coloring. It’s that simple.

My daughter has just discovered Milano cookies—I now need to have a stash in our pantry at all times. I’m going to have to make your dip for her, too <3
I’m a coffee and cookies gal, thanks to extensive training in my formative years by my grandma. However, I’m thinking I may need to add cookie dipping to that routine.
You are my hero, Diane, this is brilliant!
that is a great recipe idea! I love to squirrel away with a cup of organic tea, my cookies and a good magazine!! I cherish that time!!
I take time for myself with Milano cookies by nibbling on them while sitting out on the patio with a good book.
I had no idea that Milano cookies come in lemon flavor! Must find them!
Does it get any better than Milano cookies? LOVE those! And your lemon dip sounds just fabulous. YUM!

I take time for myself with delicious Milano Cookies by sitting by the fireplace with a good book and dipping the cookies in hot chocolate.

Love your lemon dip! I enjoy Milanos at the 3 p.m. slump time, between lunch and dinner. They’re a day-brightener.
I take time for myself by taking a bubble bath and eating these cookies.

I enjoy a cup of coffee with Milano cookies to take a moment for myself
What a delicious way to eat Milanos. I like to wait until everyone’s gone to bed so I can enjoy Milanos all by myself.

I spend “me” moments early in the morning before everyone wakes up. I catch up on emails and just enjoy the silence. A milano cookie would be great in the morning.
