Honey Citrus Cookies

It's summertime. While everyone I know is off exploring the world, partaking in internships, or just enjoying the freedom, I am studying. For what you may ask? The MCAT. I really kind of want to get into medical school.

However there is only so much information one girl can handle. So the best way to stress release is through baking. Oh and bake I did. I invited two friends over and made four dozen of these cookies. After their visit, the only thing left was the tray and the dishes. These cookies were devoured.

Prepare yourself.
