Meyer Lemon Glazed Cookies with Pea Shoot Sugar

These Meyer lemon cookies are tender, buttery, and packed with bright citrus flavor - the kind that just tastes like spring. A simple lemon glaze keeps things fresh and tangy, and then comes the pea shoot sugar. Made from real pea shoots, it's this stunning natural green - no food dye, no weird ingredients - with a delicate, grassy sweetness that's honestly the perfect match for all that lemon. Together they just work. Pretty enough to impress, easy enough to actually make on a weeknight.
