Hello my name is Miss Messy from Mess Makes Food. I am honoured to be guest posting at Ducks ‘n a Row today. I love Sinea’s blog and always join in with the Blog Hop! I was more than happy to help out and guest post. If you’d like to find out more about me, follow me on Twitter or like my page on Facebook!
I made something extra special for my guest post, these are no normal lemon cookies, they are laced with limoncello!

Real Italian Limoncello too! My boyfriend spent 2 weeks in Venice recently and bought me a big bottle back. This is the first thing I have used it for! You know, other than drinking it!

It’s good I’ve started thinking about things to use Limoncello in, as when this post goes live, I will be in Italy! I’m going for a week with my boyfriend and his family and I cannot wait.
It’s been a busy few weeks and lying in the sun (which we don’t get much of in the UK) with a book in my hand by the pool will be perfect. Not to mention the Italian food! I think I’ll come back quite a few pounds heavier, but it will all be worth it!
If your not as lucky as me (trust me, I know how lucky I am) and are not going to Italy then you can get a little taste of Italy in these cookies. Whist they might not be a traditional Italian food, they’re still yummy!
If you can’t get Limoncello or don’t want to use it, then you can substitute for lemon juice, it works equally as well.
