🍪Tried-and-True Sugar Cookies + Lemon Meringue Magic


Hello, Reader,

…We were living in a beautiful rental house in the country, and my husband was working the night shift at a sawmill. One quiet evening, I got out my mom’s old cookbook and decided I was going to tackle making a lemon meringue pie.

I read those directions like my life depended on it — and guess what? It turned out! Today’s recipe is that same classic version, and it’s still a favorite.
