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.

I’ve only had them a few times but I had them with coffee. I like to get up a little before the girls and have some coffee while I’m playing on the computer. Thank you!
With any little indulgence…I find the time when my dad (I am his caretaker) and my granddaughter (I am her part-time babysitter) take a nap.
I like to catch up on my TV shows while eating them!

A cup of coffee and Milanos after all the dishes are done and clothes are folded is heavenly.

I take time by enjoying a Milano cookie and my favorite song.
I take my Milano cookies into the closet where I hide from my family. This way I can eat the whole box in peace and quiet. The only sounds are chewing and the splash of my tears hitting the cookie box.
