13 tangy lemon desserts that our publishers repeat

Lemons are a must for me for me: a pinch of lemon juice or a touch of zest can help brighten up an entire dish. I always keep several at hand for dressings and easy sauces, and I particularly like to use the fruit to make desserts. Lemon desserts are refreshing and have just enough acidity to prevent them from being terribly sweet. In this case, I am not the only one in our team to have a weakness for lemon desserts: our senior culinary editor, Leah, makes a nasty lemon cake, and our associated editorial director, Megan, likes a lemon pie enough to make you dough. As for me, I will never refuse a slice of lemon meringue pie. Below, you will find lemon desserts that our publishers like the most, including tender cakes and delicate cookies. These lemon confections are those that we make again and again, and we suspect you too.
